National bargaining progress continues
Kaiser Permanente and Alliance unions reach 4 tentative agreements and advance work on key topics.
Kaiser Permanente and the Alliance of Health Care Unions met June 3 to 5 in Los Angeles to continue negotiating a new national agreement.
During the session, the Alliance presented Kaiser Permanente with an economic proposal that includes elements on wages, staffing, medical benefits, retirement plans, trust fund contributions, and other issues.
After some discussion about the Alliance’s proposal, Kaiser Permanente and the Alliance reached 4 tentative agreements on retiree benefits that include enhancements to the retiree medical health reimbursement account and the qualified dependent death benefit.
Kaiser Permanente is thoughtfully considering the Alliance’s other economic proposals and looks forward to continuing negotiations with the Alliance.
In addition, subgroups advanced their work to identify common interests around staffing and patient care, partnership effectiveness, and artificial intelligence and technology.
The Alliance national agreement expires on September 30, 2025.
The next national bargaining session is scheduled for July 15 to 17, 2025.
