Kaiser nurses vote to strike
Advertiser Staff
As negotiations with their employer continue, nurses at Kaiser Permanente Hawaii have voted "overwhelmingly" to authorize a strike, the Hawai'i Nurses Association said today.The vote authorizes the leadership of the association to issue a 10-day strike notice to Kaiser Permanente anytime after tomorrow.
The union’s contract expires on Nov. 30.
Kaiser Permanente management, which has asked for a federal mediator to help with the talks, called the union’s plans to issue a strike notice "extremely premature."
