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.

The 2019 KP-Coalition National Agreement strengthens the Labor Management Partnership to improve service to our members and patients, the organization and the roughly 85,000 represented by the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions. Coalition union members, their managers, and the physicians who work with them are encouraged to review the agreement to learn how it will help achieve high-quality, affordable health care while creating a great place to work.

In 2018, the Alliance of Health Care Unions reached Labor Management Partnership Agreement with Kaiser Permanente.

The 2018 KP-Alliance National Agreement renews and strengthens the Labor Management Partnership to better serve the needs of our members and patients, the organization and the 49,000 workers represented by the Alliance of Health Care Unions. Alliance union members, their managers, and physicians who work with them should know key provisions of the agreement and what it does to help achieve high-quality, affordable health care while creating a great place to work. 

If your union is party to the 2015 Coalition National Agreement, you may be eligible to convert your unused banked sick leave to a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) when you retire from Kaiser Permanente. You can use the Sick Leave HRA to help pay for eligible out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision and hearing care expenses on a tax-free basis.    

The Sick Leave HRA gives you a strong incentive to bank your unused sick time and helps ensure that you will have sick time when you need it. This benefit is separate from and in addition to the Retiree Medical HRA established as part of the retiree medical benefits package in the 2015 Coalition National Agreement. 

See the Retirement Programs section of your Summary Plan Description on MyHR for details:

• Select your region.
• When the Benefits by Employee Group page opens, click on View under Summary Plan Description.
• Once the file opens, click on Retirement Programs from the menu on the left.
• Look for details for the Sick Leave Health Reimbursement Account.

If that benefit is not included in your Summary Plan Description, you are not covered by the benefit.

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.
