Nearly 4,000 mental health workers employed by Kaiser, cancelled a strike they had intended to start on Tuesday. Employees have been without a contract for months, and take issue with their wages and benefits. Additionally, employees would like their patients to have greater access to their services. The union representing mental health workers, The National Union of Healthcare Workers, has stated that the strike was cancelled due to recent progress that has occurred during contract negotiations.
