The Kaiser Division Steward Council -- more than 150 SEIU-UHW elected member leaders from across California -- came together to lay out our plan to win in 2010. We set three main goals for the national bargaining that begins in April:
- Economic progress for all members
- Locking in all current benefits and our voice at work
- Securing our jobs for the future
"We have a good plan to face all our challenges and win in 2010 and the future. Putting that plan into action will take unprecedented unity." Lynette Harper, Urgent Care, Kaiser San Jose
Action starts now! Meet with your steward, fill out the bargaining survey, sign our unity letter
There will be meetings at every facility this month so that everyone has an opportunity to take action and learn more about our plan to win.
NUHW is putting members at risk
Immediately after the KDSC meeting, NUHW leaked information about our bargaining strategy to KP management. During the worst economy in decades, NUHW is threatening to undermine our gains in 2010.
"While we are building our union and making sure every member has a voice, NUHW's tactics are divisive and unproductive. How dare they? We cannot let their actions destroy our unity or affect our plan to win at the table" Ofelia Medina, Admitting Rep, Kaiser Manteca
