Hundreds of Northern California Kaiser Permanente nurses hold a one-day strike at Kaiser Permanente hospital in Oakland Sept. 8, 2025.
Kaiser Permanente unionized nurses and other workers began an open-ended strike on Monday at dozens of locations in California and Hawaii, citing staffing shortages, workplace safety and wages.
In Oakland, the picketing began at 7 a.m. outside Kaiser Oakland Medical Center facilities at 3600 Broadway.
About 31,000 employees represented by the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals plan to take part in the work stoppage, which will include picketing at several Kaiser locations, including some in Northern California and the Bay Area.
Picket lines are also planned for Roseville Medical Center, and Santa Clara Medical Center, according to the UNAC/UHCP.
Kaiser said plans were in place to maintain services and expected its facilities to largely remain open but said some appointments would need to be transitioned to remote visits. It said emergency rooms and hospitals would remain open.
The UNAC/UHCP is part of the Alliance of Health Care Unions, which represents 23 unions in healthcare around the nation, according to the union.
The union maintains the conflict is about wages, workplace safety and short staffing, while Kaiser said it disagrees the strike is about anything other than wages.
