Kaiser Permanente and striking workers will resume contract talks Thursday, the Labor Department announced, following the largest health-care strike in US history.

Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su will be present at the Oct. 12 bargaining session “to assist the parties in advancing talks towards a fair contract for this critical workforce,” press secretary Veronica Yoo said in a statement Friday.
