Oct. 8 Alliance National Bargaining Update
Alliance unions—including USW Local 7600—provided a bargaining update and next steps: although the National Agreement expired on Tuesday, September 30, we remain far apart on key issues like wage increases, staffing voice, wage equity, and cancellation protections. Five Alliance unions (OFNHP, UNAC/UHCP, USW Local 7600, UNITE HERE Local 5, and HNHP) issued 10-day strike notices on Friday, October 3; absent substantive movement from Kaiser Permanente, a strike is planned from 7:00 a.m. Tuesday, October 14 through 7:00 a.m. Sunday, October 19. Bargaining continues in good faith, and members are urged to stay united, informed, and ready to support actions as directed by their unions.
