Hello

We just finished our second session of national bargaining for a new contract with Kaiser, and we have one question: Are you ready to show Kaiser were united to win a strong contract? In April, were going to flex our muscles and rally outside hospitals around the state to show Kaiser that were serious about improving our health and winning on our bargaining priorities. Join us. Sign up now! In bargaining, we presented our idea to improve Kaiser: we take collective responsibility for improving our health, which is both good for us and keeps healthcare costs in check. In return, we called on Kaiser to deliver on our bargaining priorities:

Protect our healthcare Protect our pension Improve our job security Win raises

So what was Kaisers response? Flex healthcare plans just like the takeaway packages that they have been making to Kaiser managers, pharmacists, and other workerswhich force workers to pay more for healthcare. We have a message for Kaiser: Take-aways? No Way! There are 45,000 of us, and we are part of the 92,000 member Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unionswe have the size, strength, and plan to win. Lets show Kaiser just how serious we are. Sign up now to join a rally at your hospital.
