On October 4, 2023, up-to 75,000 health workers went on a 3-day strike at KP hospitals predominately in California over higher pay demands and considerations over amount of patients the workers are expected to care for at any one-time.

On October 13th, KP and staff came to a tentative agreement with a contract raising staff wages by 21% over the next four years. The plan aims to address growing labor shortages. The contract affects roughly 85,000 KP staff from a coalition of unions that participated in the strike. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/10/13/1205788228/kaiser-permanente-strike-contract-deal-reached
