Possible Kaiser Permanente employee strike will not impact the Pacific Northwest region
The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions recently issued notice of a possible strike from Oct. 4–6. This does not include Kaiser employees in the Pacific Northwest region.
At this time, the negotiations involve only a fraction of Kaiser Permanente workers and facilities in Washington—primarily in the southwest edge of the state. Other areas impacted are Colorado, Mid-Atlantic States, Northern California, Oregon, Southwest Washington, and Southern California.
Kaiser Permanente and Coalition leaders will continue negotiating with hopes of reaching an agreement before any work stoppage occurs. Kaiser has plans in place to ensure continued access to needed health care services, should a strike occur, and will reach out directly to affected members.
More information will be shared as it becomes available. If you have questions, please call Kaiser Permanente Washington at 800-297-6877, or contact the King County Benefits team at 206-684-1556 or email KC Benefits.
