The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions unites more than 85,000 health care workers at Kaiser Permanente facilities in California, Colorado, Oregon, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington.
What’s New
Coalition members’ action stops Rx copay increases!
We did it. Coalition union members met the goal of having 40% of prescriptions delivered by mail and we stopped increases to our prescription copays. Rx copays will remain $10 for in-person pickup and $5 per mail delivery for Coalition union members (WA region rates may vary). We saved hundreds of dollars in increased Rx costs from budgets already squeezed by high inflation rates.

After three years of the COVID-19 pandemic, there simply aren’t enough healthcare workers to safely and properly care for patients.
Coalition union members are calling on Kaiser to use our upcoming contract negotiations as an opportunity to heal our industry by ending the staffing crisis. Our patients are depending on us.
Kaiser’s high spending on contract labor, investment loss keeps 2022 PSP out of the hands of workers.
For the first time in many years, Kaiser announced a loss of $4.5 billion, with a $1.3 billion loss in operating revenue and a $3.2 billion loss from investments in 2022. Despite this, Kaiser still has tens of billions in liquid assets. Now, because of Kaiser’s misplaced fiscal priorities and investment losses, Coalition Union members will not receive a Performance Sharing Program (PSP) payout.
