We’re holding ULP strike authorization votes for UFCW Kaiser CLS/MLT members

A month later, and we’re still waiting on Kaiser to come back to the bargaining table. Over 25 local contracts remain open with critical open issues, and important national issues still remain unresolved: contract alignment, equity funding, staffing levels, a fair PSP, retroactive wage increases, and caregiver voice in patient care. 

While Kaiser stalls bargaining, UFCW is taking action.

Kaiser has broken the law by suspending national collective bargaining negotiations and denying you access to your union representatives at work. These Unfair Labor Practices (ULP) harm our ability to communicate with you and protect your rights.

KAISER HAS ENGAGED IN THE FOLLOWING UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES:

• Suspending national collective bargaining negotiations

• Denying access to a union representative

• Surveilling, intimidating, and interrogating workers over Union activity

• Several other unfair labor practices against our siblings in the Alliance of Healthcare Unions

These unfair labor practices threaten every worker's job, put your rights in danger and weaken your ability to get the contract you deserve.

In response to their unlawful behavior, we’re holding ULP strike authorization votes for UFCW Kaiser CLS/MLT members January 22 and 23, 2026. Kaiser pharmacy members previously took a ULP Strike authorization vote in October, so they remain ready to go out on an Unfair Labor Practice strike if the bargaining committee feels one is necessary.
