75,000 Kaiser Permanente workers walk off the jobPolitical Cartoons View All 1199 ImagesIn the health care sector, a major strike kicked off this week — with some 75,000 Kaiser Permanente workers walking off the job Wednesday in multiple states.
Doctors are also not participating in the strike, and Kaiser said it was bringing in thousands of temporary workers.
After five months on the picket lines, the writers strike was declared over after their union approved a contract agreement with studios last week.
During the staggered strikes, workers have also called for solidarity and a boycott of hotels in the Los Angeles area.
