SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — If union bargaining efforts fail on Tuesday without reaching a resolution, thousands of Kaiser Permanente workers will be on the picket lines Wednesday at 15 hospitals across the San Francisco Bay Area.

According to the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, the strike is expected to last for three days, and will be “the largest healthcare worker strike in U.S. history.”

More than 75,000 Kaiser Permanente workers in multiple states are poised to go on strike to protest “unfair labor practices and unsafe staffing levels,” according to the union.

If the strike goes forward on Wednesday, Kaiser Permanente Northern California said it has contingency plans to keep its hospitals and medical offices running.

A Kaiser Permanente Northern California spokesperson told KRON4, “In the case that a strike does begin on Oct. 4, we have contingency plans in place to ensure members continue to receive safe, high-quality care for the duration of the strike. Our hospitals and emergency departments will remain open. Kaiser Permanente members can get updates on appointments, pharmacy guidance and where to get care on kp.org.”
