News and Bargaining Updates

Kaiser Permanente's Performance Sharing Program (PSP)/VariabIe Pay Program (VPP) improves the Southern California region's performance in quality, service, safety, attendance, and affordability. Labor Management Partnership employees are eligible to share in the benefits of this incentive plan based on their contributions to the attainment of KPSC goals and the region's yearly financial performance above a pre-established financial target.

We fought hard to win a strong 2018 Alliance National Agreement and protect our Labor Management Partnership. Now we want to hear your perspective on how partnership is working in your clinic department, hospital floors, office or facility and how it can be improved.

You should have received an email recently from InsideKP asking you to take an important survey. The survey is called for under our new National Agreement, and is a joint effort between Alliance Unions and KP.

We're excited to announce that we've begun bargaining for the newsest members of Local 7600!

To those newly-organized members, also known as Status 5 employees, everything related to your work should remain status quo as we go through the bargaining process.

Time-off granting should be done as before; and if any position becomes vacant, it should be posted as USW 7600.

Congratulations to Our President Valery Robinson Awarded  Community Service  Medal by NAACP in recognition for her hard work and dedication to our community.

 

After careful preparation, months of organizing in unprecedented numbers, and long days and nights in negotiating sessions stretching from May to September, we have finally secured a strong tentative agreement (TA) that met our key goals: a good wage increase, better benefits, new LMP and educational trust funds for our Alliance union members, and a plan to get our LMP back on track.

With the expiration of the National Agreement looming at the end of the month, negotiations will resume in Los Angeles on Monday, September 17.

Some progress has been made in prior rounds of talks, but there is a lot of ground to cover in a short time. The meeting will be at the Sheraton Gateway near LAX.

Make your voice heard on Monday!

Since we'll be bargaining on Monday, please wear your union colors on Monday next week. Be sure to you're talking to co-workers and supervisors about the key issues.
