Stand Up! Stand Together!

Our union wants to send a clear message to Kaiser Permanente that we intend to protect all of our rights in our union contract and National Agreement–from our pension, to fully employer-paid family medical benefits with $3 and $5 co-pays, as well as protecting full-time jobs and advocating for better staffing to care for our patients. We’ve been taking action and we will keep doing whatever it takes to protect good jobs and quality care.

We’ve had a long history in the Northwest of standing up for our co-workers when they need us. To continue that tradition, our bargaining team wants to encourage SEIU members to support other union members who are also fighting for a good contract from Kaiser. We know that an injury to one is an injury to all, and we don’t want to see any union member take one penny in take-aways when we know we have made Kaiser thrive…especially when they are sitting on $32 BILLION in reserves. 

Join us to send a strong message to Kaiser that if there’s no contract there will be no peace.

3. Celebrate Labor Day with our Union family! SEIU members and their families are invited to our Labor Day Rally on Monday, September 3 from 10am – 2pm in Overlook Park in Portland.  Please RSVP here so we know how many members to expect.
