More than 75,000 workers at Kaiser Permanente went on strike Wednesday morning at hospitals and other offices in several states after the labor union and company failed to come up with an agreement.

The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, representing about 85,000 of the health system’s employees nationally, approved a strike for three days in California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, and for one day in Virginia and Washington, D.C.
