The city of San Diego has enacted a new Earned Sick Leave and Minimum Wage Ordinance that provides employees working in the City of San Diego with certain paid sick leave usage rights. Key provisions of the ordinance are summarized below.

Coalition Union Brothers and Sisters,

Keeping our promise as your Coalition union leaders, we recently met again with Kaiser Permanente management on the progress of the financial performance of the Southern California region and what that means for your Performance Sharing Program (PSP) bonus.

 

You’ll soon be getting reports on how we are doing. The company has had a couple of good months, and teams are working hard on many of our goals. Our success depends on everyone pitching in and stepping up. Please continue to do your best, and help others do the same.

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2016 OPEIU Local 30 Scholarship Fund Awards.  Each award is in the amount of $1,500.00.

Coalition Union Brothers and Sisters,
You may have seen a recent financial report from the Southern California region, which gave you details on the company’s financial performance and made a reference to the Performance Sharing Program (PSP). You should know that the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions envisions a different approach to the financial metrics that are to be mutually agreed upon under the National Agreement.

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Services has been soliciting Kaiser Permanente employees to utilize their programs for their retirement investments. We are concerned that they are advising employees about retirement decisions that could impact their eligibility for retiree health coverage without sound knowledge of the Kaiser Permanente plans. Kaiser Permanente does not endorse these events in any way.

In fact, we are advising all employees to use caution when responding to these solicitations from Morgan Stanley. We have actively discouraged Morgan Stanley from discussing our benefit plans of which they have no knowledge, but Morgan Stanley has not been responsive to our requests.
