June 16: Local Bargaining Update; Day 4

The bargaining team met with KP on June 15 and presented our priorities. We added subgroups to address areas of our local contract where we both share interests.

Kaiser continues to emphasize the need for flexibility and keeping costs the same. Our position is that we are flexible and our members deserve more. Management should be flexible as well. In our service area, KP is paying us lower wages than other workers in California who are doing the same work for higher pay while our cost of living continues to rise. Our wages should reflect the blood, sweat, and tears we provide every day.

Bargaining continues at our next local bargaining session July 2nd.

Show your support for a fair contract by doing the following:

• See a Union Rep or your CAT team to wear your “United for Best Jobs Best Care” Sticker at work June 28-30. Post a sticker selfie on social media and use #BestJobsBestCare #usw7600
