The coalition of labor unions representing Kaiser Permanente health care workers has reached a tentative agreement with the company.

The coalition of unions representing Kaiser Permanente health care workers announced Friday morning that it reached a tentative agreement with the company. The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions announced they had tentatively reached an agreement via a social media post on Friday. "The frontline healthcare workers of the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions are excited to have reached a tentative agreement with Kaiser Permanente as of this morning," the group wrote on Facebook.

Strikes began with a three-day walk-out last week — since then, coalition officials have been meeting with company representatives for negotiations. Leaders are calling it the largest health care workers strike in US history. Kaiser has said there is an acute shortage of health care workers nationwide, but despite that challenge, it has been able to hire more than 50,000 frontline workers in the last two years.
