LOS ANGELES—Nearly 2,400 mental health workers at Kaiser Permanente facilities continued to strike Thursday amid contract talks, while Kaiser officials say the union has been “slow walking” the negotiation process and planned to strike before labor talks even began.
Mental health professionals, represented by the National Union of Healthcare Workers, were scheduled to strike from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday at Bakersfield Kaiser Mental Health Offices, San Diego Medical Center, Fontana Medical Center, Anaheim Medical Center, and West Los Angeles Medical Center.
