We had a lot of people leave the industry during covid. They had not replaced those workers. Still been behind every it point the most of the striking workers are in california, kaiser workers have walked off the job in several states. Hospitals and e. R. S are open with temporary scab workers to keep things running, but even the people who were surprised to see their san jose pharmacy closed say they sympathize with the workers. I hope the workers get what they are looking for. It is unfortunate for us people who need our prescription drugs or any kind of care. It is unfortunate that the union is not getting their needs met. I understand that as a worker, myself. I understand their point of view. Kaiser says they have reached a tentative deal on wages and benefits with the union, but nothing that would end the st
