🚨🚨Kaiser Bargaining Continues as Historic Strike Comes to an End with Unconditional Return to Work
Town Halls - Monday, Feb. 23 🚨🚨
UNAC/UHCP members,
Our four-week strike—the largest open-ended registered nurses and health care professionals strike in the United States—has been very powerful and has prompted significant movement at the table in the past 48 hours. We thank you for your advocacy and perseverance.
Our UNAC/UHCP bargaining teams have voted to send the employer a notice of unconditional return to work and end the strike while final negotiations are completed. Returning our members to patient care and their livelihoods is the clearest path to success as we capitalize on the progress you made possible.
In a notice to Kaiser Permanente, UNAC/UHCP will end its strike effective Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 7:00 a.m. PT and HT. NOTE: There will be no picket lines on Monday, Feb. 23 as we navigate the return-to-work agreements.
Please join us for town halls on Monday, Feb. 23, for details and updates.

Date: Monday, February 23, 2026
Times: 11:00 a.m. PT and 5:00 p.m. PT
Bargaining is active across regions, and we’ve made significant progress in the last stretch, with a handful of tables still unresolved at the local level. These tables include Northern California CRNAs (certified registered nurse anesthetists), which we must clarify is not yet completed, as previously stated.
Our bargaining teams will continue working to wrap up outstanding issues and work to close the remaining gaps. We are much closer than we were.
