An estimated 31,000 registered nurses and other front-line Kaiser Permanente health care workers will return to work on Tuesday after a four-week strike in California and Hawaii to demand better wages and staffing. The union said in a statement Monday that "significant movement at the bargaining table" prompted an end to the walkout. There are no details about what progress was made during negotiations or what a potential deal might look like. Kaiser Permanente officials didn't immediately comment on the union's announcement.

Thousands of nurses go on strike at several major New York City hospitals

  • By TED SHAFFREY, JENNIFER PELTZ and DAVID R. MARTIN Associated Press

Thousands of nurses at several major New York City hospitals have gone on strike. The strike began Monday morning after negotiations through the weekend failed to yield a breakthrough. The affected hospitals include NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore and Mount Sinai. The union says about 15,000 nurses are participating in the strike. Among the nurses' demands are manageable workloads and more workplace security. Hospitals say the union's demands are too costly.
