Their labor contract with kaiser expired over the weekend with crawfords Michael Thomas on the story for us live in walnut creek. Michael. Hi, good morning, everyone. Were just about 48 hours away. What would be considered the United StatesLargest Health care strike in Kaiser Permanente. Already messaging its members overnight last night telling them to prepare for this because it is a possibility they could see delays. Take a look. This is video from previous picketts that weve seen with those kaiser workers now in total, as tara mentioned, 75,000 Healthcare Workers nationwide set to strike and this would be a threeday strike that would start this coming wednesday, october 4th. It includes workers in washington, colorado, oregon, and almost 60,000 here in the United States or excuse me in cole, california excuse me and 20,000 of them are coming right out of the bay area. Their contracts expired over the weekend with Union Officials telling us they have had good discussions over the weekend on a number of issues, but they still are not seeing eye to eye when it comes to that pay raise for employees. Overnight, kaiser sent out a message to its members saying it remains at the bargaining table and theyre still trying to stir away from that strike. That could happen this wednesday. Take a look saying in quote, in the case of a strike, we may need to reschedule 7 nonurgent appointments and procedures. Well contact you in advance if your appointment needs to be rescheduled. Its possible that you could experience longer wait and hold times during the strike. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and quote down again. This battles been going on for months. In some cases, it has gotten nasty over in los angeles last month. We did see about 20 plus people get arrested for picketing outside of those kaiser buildings. But again, were hoping that this could be resolved. But as of right now, that strike is set to happen in the next 2 days unless they come to an agreement like this morning in walnut Michael Thomas, i will send it back to you. All right. Thank you, michael. We will stand by check back with you later. Time now is 603. And turning to another big story this morning. Governor gavin newsom has announced his replacement to fill late senator Dianne Feinstein, ct governors appointee, democratic strategists, a la funds up butler. She is the president of emilys list and has a long political resume. November capital correspondent tom wallace with a look. Governor newsom wanted quickly after the death of senator Dianne Feinstein on friday that remember, this is a very powerful and important seat. Just one of 2 representing the most populous state in the u. S. Senate newsom had promised to appoint a black woman to the seat and he is making good on his work. La fonda butler is the president of emilys list. Thats an organization working to elect prochoice women to office. Shes also the former president of the seiu United Long Term Care Workers Union and was a member of the uc board of regents for more than 5 years now on top of all of that, she was a Democratic Party strategist who was a long careers california politics. She will be the only black woman serving in the u. S. Senate and the first openly lgbtq person to represent california in the senate as well. We spoke with Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson about why this was such an important pick. So i think that ms butler is a smart pick because Governor Newsom is essentially able to make good on both of his promises. He said im not going to pick somebody whos actively running in the race. He didnt want to put his on the scale. And he also said im going to pick a black woman, the pick, a black woman who is also at the forefront of issues. He cares about about gender equality, about reproductive choice. And so i think for the governor, this pick makes a lot of sense. It also makes sense because Senate Democrats need another person there. They cannot be down a body and we expect that ms butler will be sworn within a matter of days. And already questions are rising over butlers official residence. Now for biography on the emilys list website and on her twitter account listed her state of residence as maryland. But the Governors Office is quickly putting that to bed saying she is a longtime california resident and has a house here and in clarification that she moved to a dc suburban maryland when she took over as emilys list president in 2021, a spokesperson from the Governors Office tells me butler will re register here before she is officially sworn later this week, governor gavin newsom wrote this on social media about butler, quote from her time as president of emilys list, a leading the states Largest Labor union. She has always stood up for what is right and has led with her heart and her values. So what happens next . Will butler is expected to be sworn in later this week . And as for how this impacts the 2024 race to fill that seat, well, were told butler is free to run for the seat of she wants. She join major democratic candidates, adam schiff, but early and katie porter who have already entered the race in the newsroom. Im a tom wallace. Well, congresswoman barbara lee d is also running for that senate seat. As we know this past summer, she criticized the governors comments at that time about wanted to choose a black woman to serve in an interim basis until the election. In a statement, barbara lee wrote, quote, i wish the well look forward to working closely with her to deliver for the people of the golden state. Im singularly focused on winning my campaign.
