On Friday, March 18, 2022, the National Union of Healthcare Workers announced to Kaiser Permanente that it had ratified a new 3-year contract that ensures continued delivery of high-quality care and service for our members and sustainable marketplace-competitive wages and benefits for our employees represented by the bargaining unit in Southern California.
This new agreement allows Kaiser Permanente and the 1,900 employees represented by the NUHW Psych-Social Chapter to continue working collaboratively to provide high-quality health care that is affordable and accessible. It also contributes to making Kaiser Permanente a best place for our members and patients to receive health care and a best place to work in health care.
Mental health and well-being are essential to total health and this agreement underscores our unwavering commitment to helping our members stay mentally, physically, and emotionally healthy.
