SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Tens of thousands of healthcare workers are set to strike against Kaiser Permanente, the union representing them announced.

On Friday, the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals (UNAC/UHCP) announced it had delivered a 10-day strike notice to Kaiser Permanente, citing the need for more staffing, fair pay, retirement security and employee benefits.

If the strike happens, which is set to start on Tuesday, Oct. 14, it would be the largest UNAC/UHCP strike ever against Kaiser Permanente with 31,000 UNAC/UHCP healthcare workers set to strike, according to the union.

Tens of thousands of frontline registered nurses and healthcare workers would strike for five days at more than two dozen hospitals and clinics across California and Hawaii, according to the union, which said members of the Alliance of Health Care Unions will join picket lines in California, Hawaii and Oregon.

2. I hated Kaiser!!!

I'm so glad I switched in 2007. They almost killed me. And having to go to one of their only 2 pharmacies is ridiculous.
