Tonight, we start with another possible historic strike in a summer full of them, this one involving Kaiser Permanente. Workers up and down the west coast and in the d. C. Area.

He has this report on what it means for you for around 75,000 Kaiser Permanente Health Care Workers nationwide, including here in the bay area, could soon be on a three day strike. An Umbrella Organization of about a dozen unions representing the workers say they plan to strike starting wednesday morning if they cant come to a new working agreement with kaiser.

She says issues like chronic understaffing, low pay and worker burnout are some of the top issues she and her colleagues want addressed. Ellen smith tells me while these issues have been around for years, the pandemic has made them worse. Now, she says, its impacting patient care because kaiser simply doesnt have enough people. I treat every patient that comes in as as if they were my mom or as if they were my brother, my family members. If a strike were to happen. Kaiser permanente says their hospitals and Emergency Departments would remain open, but that some nonurgent medical appointments may need to be rescheduled in a statement, they said, quote, a strike is not inevitable and is certainly not justified. Our goal is to reach a fair and equitable agreement that strengthens Kaiser Permanente as a best place to work and ensures that the high quality care our members expect from us remains affordable and easy to access. The kaiser strike would be just the latest in a series of major strikes that has happened nationwide in recent months. All of them share similarities, says labor law Professor William gould. Much of it grows out of a labor shortage. Some of it grows out of wages that have been depressed in the past and labor much of organized labor, is trying to engage in a kind of catch up as negotiations head into their final day. Allen smith says she hopes kaiser management listens to their employees. We want them to bargain in good faith. Let us help the health care, the Frontline Health care worker work with you to solve the kaiser workforce shortage. In San Francisco, tim johns, abc7 news. Our next abc seven news advance are at 11.

They have Kevin Mccarthy as speaker of the house. A group of far right gop representatives led by gates are upset over House Speaker mccarthy navigated through the governments federal funding deal over the weekend. The short term spending deal keeps the government running until november 17th, but now the house will take up gatess motion within two days. All it would take is a simple majority to remove mccarthy as House Speaker. Well, he doesnt have my support anymore and he doesnt have the support of a requisite number of republicans to continue as the republican speaker. Now, he may continue as the House Speaker and he may continue as the speaker of the democrats in some sort of uni party coalition.

Tonight, the show is hosting Arnold Schwarzenegger with musical guest jason isbell, ketch Jimmy Kimmel Live here on abc seven, right after us at 11. All right. For now, though, we want to get a check on the weather with abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel. Sandhya. Yeah, get ready for the heat this week. So we do have a heat alert for you. Temperatures will be soaring. Were talking about increase fire danger as we track october heat and a moderate risk of heat illness. So definitely stay hydrated and keep cool. Heres whats going to bring us the hot weather. Its an area of High Pressure that is starting to build as the area of low pressure that brought us the showers on saturday has moved on with this ridge of High Pressure. Well see those downslope winds and that will bring hot weather to the bay area. Inland areas will be in the 90s 70 to 80s along the coast. This is wednesday as we head into thursday. Even hotter weather in our inland communities into the mid 90s going into friday. And it is going to be a warm one. Even near the coast. The other thing that we are concerned about is the offshore winds with that High Pressure building, northeasterly winds will dry out the atmosphere. Any moisture that we had over the weekend will start to dry out as well. So we are looking at heightened fire danger. There is no red flag warning, but something to remain aware of as we head into that time period. So with those winds picking up just briefly and not strong, the fire danger will be coming up into the moderate to high category for parts of the north bay. You will notice as we head towards wednesday at midnight, for the time being, we dont have to worry about fire danger because weve got this shallow fog layer over San Francisco. How cool is that . Its about 1000ft, so its not going very far. Heres a look at the fleet week forecast for the blue angels, any of the fleet week festivities. If youre going, its going to be warm and sunny on friday in the mid 80s as the blue angels take to the skies. Definitely great visibility and good weather for saturday. Upper 70s morning will be in the 50s and then sunday is the cooler day with some fog around. We do have the fog right now on live doppler seven. Some higher clouds passing through as well. A look at those temperatures in the 50s and the 60s ocean temperature is 58 degrees. So good sleeping weather tonight and you can see a really nice view from mount tam of the fog right now as we take a look at the air quality, its going to remain good to moderate tomorrow. But more areas start to see moderate air quality as that heat builds, particularly thursday and friday. So first thing tomorrow morning, watch out for that fog. It may be dense and patches and the fog will start to pull a little bit away from the coastline and then some patches will linger your morning temperatures in the 40s and the 50s, you will need that light extra layer in the morning. The nights are longer. Its getting cooler tomorrow afternoon though not cooler, its warmer, mild along the coast, upper 60s in places like half moon bay, 73 in San Francisco, mid to upper 80s inland. So its going to be a warm one away from the coastline with plenty of sun and the accuweather seven day forecast. Were going to take those temperatures up even more. Warming trend will continue mid to late into the workweek. Its going to feel like summer with mid 90s inland upper 70s to low 80s around the coastal areas and low 90s around the bay. A couple of cities like half moon bay, sfo oakland will be getting close to their records and then the heat holds saturday.
