Alright you all, I'm back at bargaining. Let's just keep it short and sweet. Based on my calculatons, we could stand to lose about half of our sick days if management has its way. Yesterday and this morning management continued to try and present their reasons as to why PTO/ETO would be a benefit. It was a bad presentation that did not change our views on PTO/ETO one bit. It actually really fustrated me because they came with a weak presentation and in some cases no documentation. What a waste of our time! There is no reasonable logic to support a change to PTO/ETO. We listend to what they had to say but had to stop the discussion of PTO/ETO from further discussion at this time.
When we moved forward, Labor brought up 8 items in the national agreement that are not being enforced but that, if they were, would improve attendance. We believe that if Labor and management would just enforce those items then the agreement would reach its full potential. Things could improve in those areas that have problems and improve more in areas that are already doing well.
Our members at the table are staying focused on the goal at hand and are doing a great job. The next round is on May 4-6. They're gonna keep trying to take our sick days but we will continue to stand up to them. We need your supprt out there, people!
In Unity,
Victoria

ReplyDeleteWe will keep fighting! They're not taking nothing. Everyone, wear your purple and sticker up.Let's protect our stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe majority of Kaiser employees don't abuse their sick time. The majority of the Kaiser employees work hard to give good patient care and earn our national awards. If Kaiser is not happy with our attendance, why punish the good employees by taking away sick time and benefits? Why doesn't Kaiser go after those few employees who truly abuse the system?

I am an long-time Kaiser employee who was injured at work and have chronic effects. I must work full time to support myself and am afraid if they tighten sick time I may be forced to lose $$ and be forced to permanently lose hours. As it is I use most or all of my sick time. I can't imagine what would happen if we should lose sick time. I don't want to be forced to use vacation time for sick and then end up with NO time left. Please, please you are standing up for truly dedicated workers who are doing their best under the circumstances! Stay firm!
