Kaiser’s Offers

Across-the-Board Wage Increase by Union 2021 -2024

This wage table shows how inflation and Kaiser’s wage decisions since the 2021 National Agreement have affected UNAC/UHCP members. When inflation rose to 9%, Kaiser granted significant raises to other unions in 2022 and 2023 but denied similar increases for UNAC/UHCP. As a result, while living costs surged, our members’ real wages—earnings adjusted for inflation—declined, reducing their actual purchasing power.

How Kaiser’s Across-the-Board Wage Proposal Undercompensates UNAC/UHCP Members

This wage table compares two wage outcomes. A 25% increase restores wage inflation and fairness by aligning with other union settlements. In contrast, a 21.5% increase (−3.5%) fails to restore wage inflation and fairness, providing less to UNAC/UHCP members than to other unionized workers.
