Negotiators came to a resolution early Tuesday and was brokered by Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA — A 10-week long strike involving thousands of Kaiser Permanente therapists in Northern California appears to be coming to a close after negotiators reached a tentative deal early Tuesday morning.
While details of the deal were not immediately available, the union representing the 2,000 mental health workers and the healthcare giant had been clashing for months over how many hours the employees would be granted outside of client-facing time. “The new 4-year agreement will benefit Kaiser Permanente patients and drive collaborative efforts aimed at improving access to mental health care, while at the same time recognizing and better supporting mental health therapists in their important work,” wrote the National Union of Healthcare Workers and Kaiser in a joint statement on Tuesday.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg helped broker the agreement, according to the union and the healthcare company.
