Workers at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland agreed to end their strike on Monday at 6 p.m., according to the National Union of Healthcare Workers. It began about two weeks ago, with union workers protesting a plan to transition them to UC employment. Last week, a federal judge denied their request for an injunction to stop that plan.
