Kaiser employees might go on strike from Monday

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Kaiser Permanente is warning members to brace for a potential strike that could affect their prescriptions.

The Pharmacy Guild is planning a walk-out on Monday morning.

The labor action would run from the 15th through the 22nd.

Hospital officials say if a strike does happen, several elective surgeries and non-urgent appointments would have to be re-scheduled.

Kaiser will contact any patients who would be affected so the medical provider says there's no need to contact the medical center.

All Kaiser pharmacies will be closed through the strike but the mail delivery service would still operate.
