Coalition Union members took action today at facilities in Colorado, Washington, and Southern California to educate patients that when Kaiser Permanente Thrive pushes for two-tier wages and benefits, it not only shortchanges workers but it also shortchanges patient care.

Tell Kaiser to put workers & patients before $$. Petition at http://ckpu.org/notwotier21

We fight another surge. KP proposes two-tier wages & benefits. Shortchanging workers = shortchanging patient care. Don't let Kaiser divide us & undermine quality patient care. Petition @ http://ckpu.org/notwotier21
