Social Media Action at Kaiser

As many of you have noticed, we launched our bargaining surveys this week.. Our bargaining surveys are a tool for us to find out what is most important to you in this new contract so that our bargaining teams, both locally and nationally, can prioritize the interests and demands.. Over the next several weeks we will be talking with members about the importance of these surveys, what opportunities there are to get more involved in this campaign, and what it takes to win.

We are also taking part in an action to help raise the profile of our work. All across the Alliance of Healthcare Unions, which represents nearly 57,000 workers across the Kaiser system, we are taking part in social media activism to show our commitment to winning a great contract. We are inviting you to take part in this process so that we can raise OFNHP’s visibility and show our coworkers how important these bargaining surveys really are.

This is an easy process, and it looks like this:

  1. Take a photo of yourself holding one of these Alliance bargaining survey signs, wearing an Alliance pin, or simply wearing some OFNHP swag. Even taking a photo of yourself raising your fist in the air would be great!

  2. Then we are asking members to post that photo on their personal social media account using the hashtag #SpeakUp2025BargainingSurvey. You can do this on any of the social media accounts you use, including Facebook, Instagram, and X. Share briefly on your post why you filled out the survey and what issues are most important to you.

  3. When you do this, make sure to tag both OFNHP (which is named “@ofnhp” on all social media platforms) as well as the Alliance of Healthcare Unions’ page (“@ahcunions”). This way they can share them and see how many of our members are participating

  4. The best way to do this is to set this specific post to “public” so that everyone can see them.

We also encourage you to email your photos to our Communications Organizer at SBurley@ofnhp.org so that they can be posted on our own social media accounts as well. The more photos we get of us affirming that we have taken the survey the more we can show management, the public, and the other unions that we are taking an active role in this campaign from the beginning. If you do not use social media, still take the pictures and send them to the Communications Organizer so that they can be posted publicly on OFNHP social media. The most important thing is getting the pictures so that we can use them, and please encourage your coworkers about doing the same.

Union activists are encouraged to get permission to take photos of their coworkers, show your colleagues how to post, and see how many images we can capture.

If you want to take a photo of yourself using the Alliance sign, you can pick some up from the Tigard office or you can print them easily from any printer. We have a couple of different options for signs below, including one that you can write in if you want to share why you took your bargaining survey. Click below to download each of these posters if you want to print them yourself:

  1. Poster #1: “I Took the 2025 Bargaining Survey!”
  2. Poster #2: “I Took the Survey Because…”

We are also happy to share some Teams/Zoom backgrounds that you can use in meetings starting now, and we will likely return to these backgrounds several times in the coming months. Just click either of these to download and save the image to be used as your background.

  1. Teams/Zoom Background #1

  2. Teams/Zoom Background #2

It is so important that we raise the visibility of this campaign now, so please talk to your coworkers, help collect photos, and let’s see how many we can get. Can we produce the largest number of social media posts across the entire Alliance?
