Contract negotiations continue

Kaiser Permanente and NUHW met on April 22 and 23. Talks are set to continue on April 28.

BARGAINING UPDATE

Kaiser Permanente and the National Union of Healthcare Workers resumed our contract negotiations on April 22 and 23. Similar to last week’s bargaining session, both parties spent time at the table and in our respective caucuses with our mediators, Mark Ghaly, MD, and Darrell Steinberg. We will continue our discussions on Monday, April 28.

We look forward to our next session with our continued goal to reach a fair agreement that benefits our employees, and our members and patients.
