Kaiser management’s approach to negotiating with our Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions has been chaotic,
disrespectful and unlawful. KP illegally walked out of our negotiations over a year ago and only returned when they
were indicted by the National Labor Relations Board. Despite repeated requests, they have refused to provide critical
information. Instead of formal proposals, they have outlined different “options” on easel paper.
While these various “options” have been confusing, they are all uniformly unacceptable as they seek to divide
workers, do not reflect Kaiser’s unprecedented financial success, do not protect our jobs and put our patients
at risk.
