The announcement arrives after the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions and the largest U.S. healthcare non-profit organisation failed to agree over staffing levels.

Union members at Kaiser hospitals as well as medical offices located in Colorado, Virginia, California, Oregon, the District of Columbia, and Washington state, in response, went on strike today.

Workers participating in the work stoppage include technicians, vocational nurses, pharmacists, medical assistants, respiratory therapists and a range of other positions.

Kaiser Permanente operates over 600 medical offices and 39 hospitals that serve close to 13 million patients across the United States.
