On March 27, over 12,000 members of UFCW Locals 7, 27, 135, 324, 400, 770, 1167, 1428, 1442, 1996, and 3000 who work at Kaiser Permanente locations across the country ratified new contracts. The 11 locals worked together to negotiate the successor contracts, which are valid through March 2030.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The four-year contracts include 21.5 percent in wage increases over the next four years, including 6.5 percent raises in March and October of this year. Additional wage grid and market adjustments are included in the contracts across classifications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The contracts include language to safeguard against the impact of artificial intelligence to help shape the future for health care workers at Kaiser Permanente. Important benefits, including pensions, employer contributions and a partnership agreement, were protected. The Ben Hudnall Trust Fund, which provides numerous education benefits to union members, will receive additional funding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The UFCW Kaiser Permanente Bargaining Committee released the following statement:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cWe came together with Kaiser Permanente workers across the country to achieve these strong successor contracts. It reflects the months of hard work that went into negotiations and the solidarity shown by all of us at the bargaining table and the Alliance of Healthcare Unions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cWith significant wage increases, more funding for training and education, and new language on AI and the use of technology, we\u2019ll be better able to care for our patients at work and our families at home. Through our collective power, we are continuing to make Kaiser Permanente a better place for patients and health care workers in every field.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
