day strike comes as negotiations failed earlier this week. priscilla offermann is part of the employee bargaining team. >> we've been bargaining since april, okay. when we decided to give our ten day strike notice, that's when bargaining actually started happening. so you can't cram in an actual full bargaining session in ten days. >> kaiser permanente declined to be interviewed, but in an email to abc7 news, kaiser claims that tentative agreements have been reached on wages and benefits and that it met the union's demand to hire 10,000 employees. but employees refute those claims because they keep throwing out these numbers that they apparently they've already reached the 10,000 new employees. >> who are these employees? because when you walk into those facilities, you are not seeing new faces at all. the union says kaiser's offer to raise the minimum wage to $23 an hour falls short. >> so the $25 an hour, they want. what do we want? >> six. where do we want it now? also on the picket line where city council members from nearby cities of concord and san ramon

able to reduce our passport processing times by two weeks. so now for routine service, you could expect it to take 8 to 11 weeks. and for expedited service, you could expect that to take 5 to 7 weeks. so that is time enough for many to get a passport in time for holiday travel. >> if they get moving. and by january, processing times should be at pre-pandemic levels. >> by the end of the year, we can get back to times like we had in 2019, which was 6 to 8 weeks for routine and 2 to 3 weeks for expedited service. >> now, if your application gets stuck in limbo or it just seems that way, you can go to the state department's online passport tracker and look up the status. now i've posted all the information you need. it's on our website at abc7 news.com. hopefully these problems will be totally gone. >> that's so stressful for so many people are trying to leaving the country and you don't have your passport. yeah. thanks, michael. sure. all right.

my late father-in-law lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga. like straight lines that seem wavy, blurry, or missing visual spots that make it hard to see faces like this one, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you've been diagnosed with amd and notice vision changes, don't wait. ga is irreversible. it's important to catch it early. talk to your eye doctor about ga and learn more at gawontwait.com

is a place where you can cool off. look at santa cruz. it's a nice tonight as the waves are crashing. maybe take a dip in the water or air quality. good to moderate the next three days. so it's still safe to be outside as we check out live doppler seven, no fog in sight and we're not expecting it tomorrow afternoon will be another warm to hot day with upper 80s to upper 90s. well above average for your friday, but much cooler weather is coming your way. the second half of your weekend going into monday when we have an opportunity for seeing some showers and it may linger into early tuesday, but certainly welcome around this time of year when we're typically talking about fire danger and heat and we're talking about heat again on the accuweather seven day forecast for tomorrow, 80 and 90s, those temperatures will back off on saturday. you'll feel it most around the bay and coast and then everyone cools off on sunday. that cooling continues monday with breezy, possibly wet weather coming our way. but certainly 70s will be welcome for our warmest spots. and dan, boy, that's a big drop

off, big drop off. >> thanks, andy. >> all right. well, this is also hot. women's professional basketball's coming to the bay area, the wnba announced a new team will be playing at chase center starting in 2025. abc's seven news reporter ryan curry shows you how the warriors are making this happen. >> i'd like to present you with an official wnba basketball and make an official welcome to the wnba. >> the courts at chase center will soon host two teams the warriors and a yet to be named wnba team. >> we're getting a team in the bay area and we're for me personally, this is a very, very exciting moment to fulfill a dream that i've always had for women's basketball warriors. >> owners joe lacob and peter guber joined mayor london breed and league commissioner cathy engelbert to announce a new 13th team will play in san francisco . this new team will be the first expansion franchise since 2008. >> this is just one step further to making sure that the public understands and realizes the value of what san francisco does

in terms of being this place that is not only an amazing, beautiful city, but also a beacon of hope. >> the wnba is coming off its most popular season yet in terms of game attendance and people watching on tv. the league says games on abc averaged over 600,000 each game. a league record commissioner engelbert says it was time to expand the league and san francisco was the best place for a new team. the bay area is firmly aligned with our already strong fan base of diverse and engaged basketball fans. >> this is a hub for women's sports, with six division one women's basketball teams in the bay area warriors ownership does not just want to add a wnba team here at chase center. >> they want them to match the energy of the men's team by having them compete for a title right away. >> first press conference for the warriors. we will win a championship in the first five years. and i'm telling you right now, we will win a wnba championship in the first five years of this franchise. >> the new team will use the warriors oakland facilities to practice. but will play their

games in san francisco. warriors owners say, as they decide on a name, it will be something that reflects the culture of the bay area. we're going to try to come up with something that makes sense and hopefully it'll be a good name and reflect what we have going on here in san francisco and in the whole bay area and women's sports in san francisco. ryan curry, abc7 news. >> it's really a great step. it's exciting to see. >> yeah, it's fun. >> you have a name that's actually thinking about that. >> i don't have great ones but i'm going to come up with. >> so we were doing some research upstairs and it turns out there was a women's professional team in the bay area in the 1970s. really? yeah. and they were the pioneers. i like that. do you like that gold ? >> yeah. yeah. >> golden california's sure. why not? so we'll see. i don't know. that's a good one. you guys know what month it is, right? october >> yeah. >> no, no, of course not. >> it's rock tober. bravo, october. yeah, yeah. real women . >> brock purdy. can he continue his brilliant play against dallas? and where is george

kittle in the offense? sandia brock tober next at sports we handcraft every batch of our delicious popcorn. like our cretors cheese and caramel mix. great on their own, even better together. try cretors, handcrafted small-batch popcorn.

don't mind me. i'm just the flu. i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications, like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” i just say, “but, i'm just the flu.” it's him! who? i'm just the flu! fight the flu with sanofi flu vaccines, which help prevent flu in older adults.

they've even been shown to provide better protection from flu-related complications compared to standard dose flu shots. don't get fluzone high-dose quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components, including egg products, or after previous dose of flu vaccine. don't get flublok quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components. tell your healthcare professional if you've had severe muscle weakness after a flu shot. people with weakened immune systems may have a lower vaccine response. this flu season, you do have a choice. choose the protection of a sanofi flu vaccine. ask your pharmacist or doctor which sanofi flu vaccine is right for you. going back to the catch in 1982. so there's always extra juice when they meet each other and they meet again sunday night at levi's stadium. the niners, one of only two remaining unbeaten teams in the league at four and zero. dallas comes in at three and 140 niners are averaging

more than 31 points per game. that's going to be tough to reach or it might be against the dallas d. that's allowed only 41 points total all all season. this game could be a great opportunity for tight end george kittle to bust loose. he had only one catch last week. he has yet to score a touchdown this season. brock purdy almost has too many weapons. so spreading the ball around is kind of a challenge. >> there's no ego, man. we want to win. we want to do whatever it takes. and you know, everyone has their big games, you know, it's just sort of how the play calls go and things like that. but i mean, if it were up to me, obviously i'd love to have all my guys, including george, go for 150 every game and four touchdowns, one play is called for me to execute. >> it's the fourth down play and they call my number. i might as well execute it. excuse my language. i'm just going to continue to whatever they ask of me, i'm going to do it. they want to throw me the ball. 15 times. i'll catch the ball 15 times, throw it to me once. it is what it is. >> george is ready. well we showed you this a few minutes

ago, but joe lacob believes in bold. so there he was today, predicting the bay area's new wnba team will win a title within five years. now, remember, he said something similar when he bought the warriors and everybody kind of laughed. that's worked out pretty well with four championships. the new team will debut in the 2025 season. they'll play all of their home games at chase center. they'll practice at the warriors oakland facility. now, this season, the wnba has delivered record ratings and attendance. ex warriors president rick welts, who helped create the wnba, says it's the perfect time to expand here to the bay area. >> this is a moment and i and i think everything that came before provides a foundation for us to be able to kind of continue the success that we're seeing right now. but that's our challenge. we can't lose this momentum again. and we have it right now. >> and i'm telling you right now, we will win a wnba championship in the first five years of this franchise. >> i have no reason to doubt them. and thank goodness for, you know, joe's big audacious promises because one thing you have to say about the promises he's made, he's actually kept them. >> that is for sure. warriors

open the pre saturday night against the lakers lebron james not going to play in that one we expect steph curry and chris paul to play they spent part of the summer together playing pickup games and steph is excited about teaming up with cp3. >> summary is it's mad fun like he was calling out stuff that he had been scouting against for years and we kind of came kind of the joke of, you know, the different looks that he knew were coming. and he's like, oh yeah, yeah, you should do this. y'all should do that. so it it was pretty seamless really, to be honest. >> well, you've probably heard about nil and college sports. that's name, image and likeness. so players can now make money and get benefits. well this is this is wild. the utah football team taking it to a new level there. nil group is giving every utah football scholarship player a new dodge ram pickup. yeah yes. every single guy everybody on the team. 85 guys, 885 trucks. yeah that's that's that

is the appropriate reaction. i was just looking to see if i have any eligibility, you know, just like, i mean, this is i don't know how other schools can compete with that. i mean, you know, 85 lambos or, you know, it's like, oh, you get a truck, you get a truck, you get a truck, you get a truck. it's i mean, the whole landscape of college sports is radically different now. >> all right. time for your return as a redshirt. >> yeah, i got to be a scholarship player to get a truck, though. thanks, larry. all right. >> all right. coming up tonight on abc seven at eight, the golden bachelor, followed by bachelor in paradise at nine. and stay with us for abc seven news at 11. all right. that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley for sanjay patel, larry beale, all of us, we appreciate your time. have a great evening. we'll see you again at 11.
