Kaiser flatly rejects our reasonable proposal

On June 21, 2018, our Union Coalition submitted the following reasonable proposal to Kaiser Permanente management. 

Kaiser said NO to our entire proposal. 

We’re going continue to stand united so management knows this is unacceptable, and we won’t stop until we have a fair contract! Come out to the rallies, purple up, and keep wearing your #UnionStrongBringItOn buttons!

Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions’ Proposal to Kaiser Permanente 

The Coalition proposes that the Coalition and Kaiser Permanente agree to: 

(1) reach agreement on a renewed partnership agreement, which includes a strong commitment to working together in a mutual partnership and includes a detailed description of conduct and expectations between the parties so that the parties are clear on the conduct that would be prohibited under the renewed partnership agreement; and 

(2) implement the renewed partnership agreement immediately for 60 days, to establish a “cooling off” period during which the parties agree to continue to negotiate the terms of a national agreement between the Coalition and Kaiser Permanente. 

The Coalition submitted a reasonable counter proposal to Kaiser’s proposed partnership terms on June 5, 2018 that the Coalition views as a good faith effort to resolve the parties’ disputes and that enables the parties to work towards continued negotiation of a national agreement in partnership, which the Coalition views as mutually beneficial. The Coalition requests that Kaiser Permanente respond to the Coalition’s proposal in writing. 

The Coalition’s intent and desire in proposing this agreement is to enable the parties to ratify a national agreement and a renewed partnership agreement by the conclusion of this 60-day “cooling-off” period. The 60-day “cooling off” period may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties.
