The union for tens of thousands of workers at Kaiser Permanente, a leading non-profit hospital network and managed-care organization, said it may hold a one-week strike starting Nov. 1, following up on its recent 3-day strike.
A statement by the union on Monday said it had served the company official notice of the possible action on Nov. 1, when a contract covering workers in Seattle expires.
The labor clash has centered on workers' demands for better pay and measures to alleviate chronic staffing shortages and high turnover of personnel that union officials say has undermined patient care at Kaiser.
