Contracts & Agreements

The 2021 KP-Alliance National Agreement advances the mission of the Labor Management Partnership to serve the needs of Kaiser Permanente, our members and patients, and the nearly 50,000 workers represented by the Alliance of Health Care Unions. The 4-year agreement renews our shared commitment to working in partnership and begins a new chapter where front-line caregivers and managers come together to address affordability and changing market conditions without sacrificing quality care or service.

When the contract book is published, it will be posted to this web page.

Our 2012 National Agreement established the conditions for creating the healthiest workforce in the industry.

One of the key innovations in the 2012 National Agreement is the Total Health Incentive Plan, a voluntary program that rewards employees for collective participation in confidential health screenings and improvements. 

The 2010 agreement includes uniform performance goals and metrics for unit-based teams, an enhanced sick leave cash-out option and stable funding for workforce development trust funds.

If you print the PDF out on 8.5" x 11" paper, each sheet will have one two-page spread of the bound contract. 

Our 2000 National Agreement created the joint LMP Trust Fund. It also created the Performance Sharing Program. It began with these prophetic words:

"This National Agreement was created through an extraordinary collaboration with the input of hundreds of Kaiser Permanente employees at every level. We created this document the way we will work in the future—jointly. The Agreement embodies our collective vision for Kaiser Permanente. The language of this National Agreement cannot begin to fully capture the energy and collective insights of the hundreds of people working long hours to establish this framework. But as work units apply these principles, we trust that their commitment and expertise will make our vision a reality."

Beyond excellent wages and benefits, the 2015 Coalition National Agreement sets industry-leading standards for quality, service, affordability, workplace health and safety, and professional development. Coalition union members, their managers, and the physicians who work with them should read the agreement and be familiar with its intentions and the path it lays out for achieving high-quality, affordable heatlh care while creating a great place to work.
