Kaiser opened the latest round of bargaining with a proposal that falls short of what we expect from our Partnership. We all know that Kaiser has been making record profits — but they opened this session complaining “hard times” are ahead for the company. They then delivered a contract proposal that demands major cuts from us, including:

• Copay increases to $20;
• More outsourcing and automation of our jobs;
• Lower pay, elimination of pensions, less time off — starting with new hires, then we’d be next.

Please join working families on June 30th to march in solidarity at the San Francisco Pride Parade.

85,000 members of our Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions will resume negotiating our National
Agreement with Kaiser Management starting on April 17-19, 2019 -without preconditions! What
does this mean? It means our actions and our unity is working.

Kaiser illegally refused to bargain with our Coalition unless we signed off on an illegal new
partnership agreement, which would have limited our rights as union members to advocate for our
patients and ourselves. We knew that was wrong and we stood our ground, we stickered up,
picketed, and took legal action.

Kaiser’s refusal to bargain the National Agreement is a clear indication we need to be fully prepared when our local contract expires on November 3, 2019.

Great Benefits, strong raises, job security, voice on the job. Focus on patient care. All of this could be
weakened or lost if Kaiser Executives have their way. Kaiser will be seeking to strip away what we have
worked so hard for over the years.
