Kaiser’s Labor Management Partnership – Success or Disaster?
Fresh from recent national negotiations between Kaiser and the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente unions, a panel consisting of Local 20‘s Kaiser Rep, Michael Aidan; John Spallone, an active Local 20 “Unit Based Team” member from Kaiser Optometry; and thirdly a Coalition staff member will review history and accomplishments of the Partnership, acknowledging past leader Ben Hudnall. Is the Partnership as an innovative way to achieve labor peace still able to function outside Labor’s more traditional conflict model ? Can it achieve some major challenges to lower health care costs and improve the health of Kaiser's workforce and the community, grow the unions and Kaiser and not cut employee benefits?
