Local Bargaining Kicks Off May 13

Our Local bargaining team consists of:

  • Michael Barnett, President
  • Norberto Gomez, Vice President
  • Maria Solano, Treasurer
  • Walter Castro, Interim Financial Secretary
  • Tammi Requejo, Grievance Rep
  • Melissa Borgia, Grievance Rep
  • Jim Kilborn, Assistant to the Director USW District 12
  • Rosie Gonzales, International Staff Rep
  • Tamara Lefcowitz, Health Care Worker Council, USW

We know opening our contract for the first time in 16 years is important and our members showed they are united. Members stepped up and responded to our bargaining survey and this helped us shape our local bargaining priorities. Some major issues we plan to address in our local contract are:

  • Compensation, wages and premium pay
  • Shifts/ Scheduling
  • Seniority
  • Language Updates
  • Opportunities for Growth

But we need you to win the best contract! Details to come about how you can join our Social Media Takeover on 5/13 to show KP we are united for the Best Jobs for the Best Care.
