Hundreds of Kaiser health care workers walked off the job Monday morning in a one-day strike.

More than 600 registered nurses and midwives are participating in a 24-hour walkout at Kaiser Oakland and 19 other hospitals across Northern California while they negotiate for their first contracts.

Kaiser hospitals and medical offices will remain open during what is supposed to be a one-day strike, according to Kaiser management.
