Standing Agreements

Enduring guidelines for our work

The Labor Management Partnership is governed by a series of agreements between Kaiser Permanente and its Partnership unions. The 1997 Partnership Agreement established its founding goals and principles; it is the foundational document for the partnership between KP and the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions. The 2018 Alliance Labor Management Partnership Agreement establishes the guidelines for the partnership between KP and the Alliance of Health Care Unions. 

Other select agreements

Other key agreements include the Employment and Income Security Agreement, which governs how jobs affected by new technologies and other workplace changes will be negotiated, and the Ebola Safety and Education Agreement, which protects caregivers as well as patients. These agreements cover employees in the Coalition and Alliance unions.
