KP-CNA Bargaining Update #27

Today, Kaiser Permanente and the California Nurses Association (CNA) met for the 27th day of contract negotiations.

What Happened

Kaiser Permanente rejected a union proposal on posting of training positions. We also withdrew our proposal that sought to clarify voluntary floating practices.

The union presented a revised version of its proposed side letter regarding safety committees.

For the Record

Kaiser Permanente has a deep, focused commitment to workplace safety, as demonstrated by the existence of active safety committees throughout our region. We welcome RN participation in these committees, as we believe our proposal of Oct. 18 makes clear. We look forward to further discussion with the union on this important matter.

What happens next

Bargaining is scheduled to continue Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017. We will continue to keep you informed.
