Kaiser Kern Admin & Clerical Bargaining Kicks Off
Local 770 Begins Negotiations with Focus on Fair Language, Alignment, and Unity for a Stronger Contract
Kaiser Bargaining for Kern administrative and clerical staff began on Monday, May 12. Local 770 is negotiating with the same management team as Kern “Main” negotiations, so both sides were prepared to move into a discussion of interests for the negotiations.
Our team identified gender-neutral language, contract alignment, and updates to courtesy language among our interests. Management shared three key interests, focused on flexibility, transfers, and on-call language.
Local 770 and the Alliance of Healthcare Unions will escalate our campaign to win a contract that reflects our members’values and needs.
We will meet with KP again on July 1, 2025 to negotiate a better administrative and clerical contract, and we will send another update for you then. In the meantime, here’s how you can show KP that we’re united for the contract we deserve:
