Kaiser Permanente Strike Expands As Pharmacy, Lab Workers Walk Out
A major strike at Kaiser Permanente entered its third week on Monday, with thousands more workers joining the picket lines to protest what they argue are unsafe staffing levels at the California-based nonprofit giant.
More than 3,000 pharmacy technicians, pharmacy assistants and clinical laboratory professionals in Southern California are joining the work stoppage, according to the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals, which represents nurses and other workers already on strike.
