After more than a year of organizing, bargaining, and a historic five-day strike, OFNHP and our Alliance siblings reached a complete Tentative Agreement with Kaiser Permanente. These agreements represent the culmination of months of coordinated organizing, bargaining, and solidarity among more than 62,000 healthcare workers across Kaiser Permanente.

Together, our Tentative Agreement locks in key economic improvements for the next contract, preserves all benefits under the National Agreement, and sets our union up for greater success in the future with alignment on a common expiration date across all OFNHP bargaining units.
