Mental health workers protest outside the Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center on a strip of Sunset Blvd. They are heading into their sixth month of striking over wages, benefits and time in between patients.

After months of striking, some therapists with Kaiser Permanente stopped eating for five days to bring attention to their union's demands for parity with how the company's other workers are treated.
