The 6,000-member California Nurses Assn. voted by a 10-1 margin to go out on strike at 25 Kaiser medical facilities in Northern California on Jan. 18, a spokeswoman said. “We are disappointed at Kaiser’s proposals,” said Jan Dillon, spokeswoman for the association. Earlier this week, Kaiser made an offer that would raise salaries 15% over the next three years to more than $40,000 a year. The nurses are asking for raises of 8% in each year of a two-year contract.
