Was on the employee Bargaining Team says key issues remain. We are distressing the point of safety, patient care, a patient crisis that were in now because of short staffing. And were asking that they fix that and they fix it immediately. All these strikes that we are seeing around the country have one common ailment, covid 19, and especially for health care workers. They have been hit hard. Management professor kumar mishra says the strike sends a strong message. And as at kaiser , could respond by considering various staffing options. What arrangement they have to, you know, have with the current employees, have some slack so they could use floaters, they could cross train employees say if demands arent met, theyre ready to strike longer. We have a promise to hire about 10,000 people, and that still hasnt been done yet. It does take time, but when youre not even close to the number, its just kind of show. Youre not actually putting in the work. A hospitals are still open. Doctors are not on strike. The strike is scheduled to go until friday evening, but employees tell me if no agreement is reached by friday, they will then prepare for an even longer two week strike.

Its so fun walking the ships, turning the ships getting to see some of the crew members. I just think its really interesting for nine year old gannon, its personal. Do you have some family members in the navy . Well, my moms dad, he was he worked on a destroyer. A lot of men and women in uniform are looking forward to sharing fleet week and the ship tours with visitors. Meet montana tory. Its her first fleet week. I encourage everyone to come because this is a super cool experience. I got a bunch of super cool things going on on the ship. The 15 minute tour of the uss john murtha has plenty to offer. The marine corps. They have their cannons out there showing demonstrations, guns. Theres a lot. Brendan beasley appreciates about fleet week, seeing the blue angels perform, seeing the sailors on the street and visiting the ships. I want to see where my tax dollars are being spent and its pretty cool. You know, these people are working hard. So where we are right now, this is our quarterdeck on board the ship. Visitors get to experience it all. 000 demonstrations is talking to men and women in uniform. Young Jonathan Lindquist even got to try out some gear for those with the uss john p. Murtha grateful for the visitors and the support we have a little under 400 sailors in about 220 marines on there right now. It really recharges their batteries when they get to go out and just hear those little words like, hey, thank you for your service. So were standing on the flight deck of the uss john murtha and the aircraft behind me is the mh 53. This aircraft here is one of our heavy lift helicopters. It can under sling a bunch of cargo or even a light motorized vehicles getting to see a navy ship, meeting men and women in uniform, learning more about how things work for a lot of families and visitors. Touring a ship is a worthwhile lesson. Do you want to come back . Yes. In San Francisco, suzannephan abc seven news. Well from the blue angels to the parade of ships, the bands and so much more, were helping you plan it all out. This fleet week. Weve got the full schedule of events posted on our website. Check it out on the front page of abc seven news. Com. Every time i see them flying in formation so closely, its just i dont know how they how they manage to do it its amazing thats why theyre up there and were just down here. Yes yeah well we look up we got a heat advisory and hopefully some blue skies. We do have a heat advisory. I want to start with that right now. Let me give you a look. This is in effect for the city of San Francisco and for much of the peninsula down to the Santa Cruz Mountains, the Santa Clara Valley, and across the bay around the east bay shoreline. This is from 11 a. M. Tomorrow to 11 p. M. Friday. High temperatures up to 102 degrees in the hottest locations, above average temperatures, obviously everywhere. And theres a moderate to major risk of heat related illness, especially for people either working outside or participating in outdoor activities. Now, the surface wind is calm right now, but its a little bit windier gustier in the hills. And with these winds flowing offshore now, the winds sloping downhill. The air is drying out and its warming up, heating up, i should say. And thats part of the reason we have this 24 hour temperature change. This is very impressive. 17 degrees warmer in napa, right now than at this time yesterday. 16 degrees warmer here in San Francisco, 11 degrees warmer at Half Moon Bay. Our coastal areas, many of them reached 80 degrees today. Heres a view from the mount tam camera looking down onto the bay. It is 86 degrees here in the city right now. Oakland 80, 86. Also in mountain view, 91, san jose, palo alto, 88, 72 at Half Moon Bay at the golden gate. Skies are clear and traffic is moving smoothly and its getting warm up north. Or its been warm for a while now. 93 degrees right now at santa rosa, napa, 94, 90 at novato, fairfield, 92, 88 at concord and 87 at livermore. And looking across the embarcadere from our rooftop camera, lets take a look at the forecast headlines. Clear skies overnight. No cooling coastal clouds around for a while. Itll be warm to hot. From the coast to inland through saturday and we have heightened fire concerns, obviously, under these conditions and near record high temperatures are likely in some places, especially away from the inland areas. The inland record highs are almost unachievable right now, but around the bay and on the coast, we may see some records overnight. Therell be no clouds, no cooling, coastal clouds. Itll be relatively mild to uncomfortably warm overnight with low temperatures in the low to mid 60s in most bay area locations, highs tomorrow low 80s at the coast, low to mid 90s around the bay shoreline mid to upper 90s inland and that pattern will continue into friday when it might even be hotter in some inland spots and into saturday and on sunday. Finally we get a sharp drop in temperatures and some cooling relief. But until then we have to sweat it out. Heres the accuweather seven day forecast. So again on sunday, a breezier breezy and cooler by a lot as a matter of fact and the cooling will continue on monday which is columbus day and then early next week, early to midweek well get back into maybe even a little bit below average temperature range. Certainly a comfortable change compared with what were going to see in the next few days. But the good news, if youre a blue angels fan, is that the skies will be clear. Well have great viewing conditions here in the city and all around the bay area for that, for that matter. Its going to be fantastic. It looks gorgeous. Yeah, amazing. Especially because last year i think they had to cancel the last day due to weather and stuff. So a little bit of a little bit of fog last year. Yeah, great. Not this year. Let it stay away. Yeah all right. Thanks, spencer. Celebration today marking a major milestone in Water Conservation in the south bay.
