Health care professionals are second-class citizens in NUHW and undervalued at Kaiser Permanente. Our health care professional colleagues who are represented by UNAC/UHCP have continually make strides in their contract. The longer we wait, the more we give up. We can’t afford to waste another 12 years on lost wages, fruitless strikes, and takeaways with NUHW.

Our first UNAC/UHCP contract had the pieces of our old contract we wanted to keep—plus a host of new language that strengthened our ability to direct patient care as we see fit.
–UNAC/UHCP Pharmacist Christine Suh
Kaiser Permanente optometrists are much better off today than prior to joining UNAC/UHCP, both financially and in terms of control of our working conditions.
–UNAC/UHCP Optometrist David Huang
UNAC/UHCP is powerful because it is a union of health care professionals for health care professionals.
–UNAC/UHCP Physical Therapist David Sereni
When we ratified our first contract in 2012, we felt the support of the entire UNAC/UHCP membership back then, and we’ll show the same level of support for you. Kaiser will see the power you have with UNAC/UHCP.
