Kaiser Spokane Pharmacy Techs - Know Your Rights and Union

2021 0308 - Kaiser Spokane Update2.jpg

Thanks to everyone who joined us on Thursday for a great meeting! We talked about what was accomplished at the last bargaining session and discussed questions related to retirement, dues, NLRB election, and seniority in Spokane.  

Our next bargaining dates with Kaiser are scheduled for April 1, 15, and 29. Between now and then, the Pharmacy Tech Bargaining Team will meet with benefit experts at Kaiser and the Alliance of Health Care Unions to compare retirement and healthcare plans—Union vs. Non-Union. 

The NLRB Election to determine if we will be represented by UFCW 21 will take place by mail over the next four weeks. Ballots will be sent out by mail by March 8, and must be returned to the NLRB Regional Office by no later than 3:00 PM on April 5, 2021. The ballots will be counted, and election results determined on April 7. If you do not receive your ballot, you may call the NLRB Region 19 Office at 206-220-6300 and ask for the information officer to request a ballot. 

It’s important for everyone to have accurate and up to date information—and that happens best when people are involved in each Clinic. Join us for our next meeting to learn more about your rights and Union—we hope to see there!  We will have a short training and an open space to talk about issues as a group.

For questions or more information, please contact Union Representative Maureen Hatton at 509-340-7370.
