Kaiser Update: Alliance Counter-Proposal, New ULP Strike Authorizations, Local Table Progress
Update | February 20, 2026
And food boxes ready for distribution next week
One week after our historic ULP Strike against Kaiser Permanente, things in the Alliance are moving quickly.
Here’s what’s new:
Today, the Alliance delivered a comprehensive package proposal to Kaiser Permanente that resolves and protects our National Agreement and delivers a clear message to KP: It’s time to settle the National Agreement. Read more about the proposal here.
UFCW Local 1996 members in Georgia overwhelmingly voted today in favor of an Unfair Labor Practice strike authorization.
UNAC optometrists also approved a ULP strike authorization earlier this week.
Progress continues to be made at local bargaining tables on local issues, and all Alliance unions are united in their demand for a return to National Bargaining.
Local 770 has food boxes donated by Labor Community Services available for distribution next week. Pickup will be at our LA, Camarillo, Huntington Park, and Santa Clarita offices between 8:00am and 4:30pm Monday – Friday. Office addresses and phone numbers HERE. (Kern members will be contacted separately.)
As always, don’t trust rumors or statements from managers or the company during a labor dispute. Official updates will come directly from your union. Keep wearing your UFCW 770 gear to show your solidarity. Continue to stay strong and ready for whatever comes in our fight for a fair contract.
If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to your Union Representative or Steward.
In solidarity,
Your UFCW Kaiser Bargaining Committee
