Update: April 3
Excellent first day: Our KPASCO bargaining team set a positive tone as we began local bargaining on April 2, 2025. Our team was energized and excited about making patient care and workplace improvements.
Looking forward: Our goal for the day was to establish how we will work with the Kaiser management team to bargain productively. We set the structure and ground rules, and then began the process of identifying shared interests.
Our next bargaining date is April 28 at UNAC/UHCP HQ in San Dimas. If you would like join us as an observer, please sign up on Memberlink.

Southern California Kickoff
We’re ready to work toward a contract that strengthens our labor-management partnership and ensures the best care for our patients. Nearly 30,000 registered nurses and healthcare professionals across Southern California are coming together to advocate for wages that attract, retain, and respect the dedicated professionals who keep Kaiser Permanente at the forefront of healthcare.
Representing registered nurses, pharmacists, rehab therapists, optometrists, dietitians, audiologists, health educators, and speech-language pathologists, we know that delivering high-quality care starts with safe staffing. When teams are fully supported, patients receive the best care, and professionals can work at the top of their licenses.
Almost all Southern California KP contracts expire on September 30, 2025. These negotiations are a key opportunity to strengthen our workforce, improve patient outcomes, and reinforce the partnership that has provided high-quality care to Kaiser Permanente patients.
Together, we are committed to solutions that support healthcare professionals, enhance patient care, and uphold our shared mission. Stay engaged—this is our moment to make a real difference.
