  • All UBTs must complete the joint staffing process and submit plans by Aug 2025 (annually thereafter)

The resulting landmark contract included vital long-term investments needed to fix the short-staffing crisis at Kaiser Permanente, offering much-needed relief for workers and patients, which will be felt for generations to come.
