Kaiser Permanente and a coalition of unions reached a tentative deal Friday morning, ending the largest healthcare labor dispute in U.S. history.
The new contract aims to address staffing shortages with raises that will amount to 21% in wage increases over the next four years, to help retain current workers.
The deal comes after tens of thousands of nurses, ER technicians, and pharmacists participated in a three-day strike Oct. 4-6.
Striking workers argued an under-staffing crisis was hurting patients.
Both sides credited the involvement of acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su, who was there in person when the final version was hammered out at 3 A.M. in San Francisco.
