Registered nurses and other licensed medical professionals at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center will begin a five-day strike Monday, officials said this weekend.
Union officials say the workers have been engaged in contract negotiations with management since July 2025 over a litany of issues they say negatively impact their work and their patients, including allegedly unsafe staffing and environmental hazards.
Representatives for Providence did not immediately reply to a request for comment Sunday.
Officials with Service Employees International Union Local 121RN said picket lines will take place from 7 a.m. to noon each day this week at the hospital, located at 18321 Clark St.
The strike is one of multiple labor actions affecting Southland hospitals. Thousands of nurses at local Kaiser Permanente facilities have been striking for weeks, while more than 3,000 Kaiser pharmacy and lab employees concluded a three-day strike last week.
On Tuesday, registered nurses at West Anaheim Medical Center plan to begin a three-day strike.
