The Labor Management Partnership at Kaiser Permanente

A team of IWER researchers in conjunction with colleagues at Harvard, Rutgers, Southern California, and Case Western Reserve Universities has been tracking the evolution of the Labor Management Partnership between Kaiser Permanente and the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions. This is the largest, most comprehensive, and one of the most innovative and path-breaking labor-management partnerships ever created in the U.S. We are pleased to make the various reports listed below completed to date available to you.
