Kaiser Permanente announced Wednesday that it has reached a tentative four-year contract agreement with a coalition of three of its unions, averting an October strike by more than 80,000 workers.
“We greatly respect and value our employees who deliver on our mission every day,” said Arlene Peasnall, interim chief human resources officer, Kaiser Permanente Health Plan and Hospitals. “This agreement is a testament to the dedication, compassion and skill those employees bring to work every day and demonstrates that Kaiser Permanente and the Coalition have a shared commitment to affordability for our members.”
