Kaiser Sues Nurses' Union Over Strike

Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and Permanente Medical Group have filed a lawsuit against the California Nurses Association, claiming the union's one-day strike in September violated its contract, according to a San Francisco Business Times report.

In the complaint, the hospital and physician group alleged their contract with the nurses prohibited work stoppages and are asking the court to force the CNA into arbitration.

The CNA's Sept. 22 strike was intended to include more than 17,000 nurses, but roughly one-third of the nurses worked through the strike, according to the report.
