National bargaining

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. 

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."
