On September 7, 2011, the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) filed a notice of intent to strike with Kaiser Permanente on September 21 - 23, 2011. NUHW issued a statement stating that it intends to have union members strike "should management continue to refuse to bargain in good faith." There are rumors that the California Nurses Association (CNA) will participate in the strike demonstrations, but no notice of intent to strike has been filed yet. The two unions represent over 21,000 Kaiser Permanente employees, with NUHW representing approx. 4,000 Kaiser employees. (Rauber, San Francisco Business Times, 9/8/11)
