Largest Open-Ended Healthcare Strike in US History Ends at Kaiser Permanente as Negotiations Move Closer to Resolution
03.04.26
| After four weeks on strike, nurses and health care professionals represented by the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals (UNAC/UHCP) returned to work on Tuesday across Kaiser Permanente facilities in California and Hawai’i. The work stoppage was the largest open-ended strike of registered nurses and health care professionals in United States history. Significant movement at the bargaining table prompted union leaders to send the employer a notice of unconditional return to work. According to the union, returning members to their patients and their livelihoods is the clearest path to securing a final agreement and building on the progress achieved during the strike. On January 26, 2026, 31,000 members of UNAC/UHCP went on strike after national negotiations with Kaiser stalled. Since March 2025, UNAC/UHCP has been in contract negotiations with the health care giant, as the union representing frontline caregivers seek a contract with provisions to address chronic staffing shortages that impact patient care. |
