Coalition Union Brothers and Sisters,

Congratulations! We showed what Coalition Union solidarity looks like.

Because we raised our voices—50,000-strong in the Southern California region—each full-time Coalition union-represented employee will receive upwards of $900 in our settlement of the 2015 payout for the Performance Sharing Program (PSP).

This is a much better solution than the employer’s original offer of a “special payment” of $215 dollars per employee in lieu of the payout for the PSP—which we bargained in the National Agreement to recognize and reward the hard work that our frontline puts into KP’s growth and reputation for excellent care and service.

 

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2015 OPEIU Local 30 Scholarship Fund Awards.  Each award is in the amount of $1,500.00.

On behalf of the Staff, Officers and Executive Board of Local 30, we would like to thank you for your participation and generosity.  The Toy Drive was a huge success!  Many union families in need will benefit from this great event.  Thank you! 

Kaiser Permanente is “considered one of the premier health organizations in the country,” according to President Barack Obama, because it’s a place where union workers have a voice to improve quality and service. Check out this video excerpt from the Oct. 7, 2015, workers’ voice summit at the White House to hear Obama’s praise for KP and the Labor Management Partnership.

GET YOUR FLU SHOT - The flu is serious. A flu shot is your best protection. Yearly vaccination is necessary because the vaccine is adapted to match each year’s expected flu viruses.  Now is the time to be vaccinated. Flu activity has started early this year and the Flu Season is now officially underway. Because it takes the vaccine 10-14 days to provide protection it is important to get the flu vaccine now. Protect yourself, your family, co-workers and our patients. 

Mandatory Vaccination or Masking Required: The San Diego County Department of Public Health has mandated that all health care workers be vaccinated for influenza or wear a surgical mask in patient care areas effectiveNovember 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016.
