As many of you may know, Registered Nurses are receiving a incentives for working extra shifts. Upon learning about this, USW leadership raised the concern to KP that all workers from all unions deserve the incentive including, USW Local 7600.
Valery Robinson was quoted saying, “I will not stop fighting until my members are acknowleged, appreciated and valued."

USW Local 7600 Leadership and Kaiser Permanente have signed an agreement for extra shift pay incentive for Respiratory Care Practitioners that will be in effect from 7:00 a.m. on December 27, 2020 until 7:00 a.m. on January 4, 2021.
The extra shift incentive will be available to Respiratory Care Practitioners to work in the medical centers, caring for patients.
After weeks of discussions with KP leaders, we are pleased to announce 7600 members will continue to receive COVID-19 sick leave through the first quarter of next year.
The COVID-19 sick leave benefits were set to expire Dec. 31, 2020, and have now been extended to March 31, 2021. In particular, we had called on KP to refresh sick leave for individuals who have previously used the benefit.
As we navigate through this difficult time, we want you to be reassured that the union will provide all necessary updates with full transparency, to you, the members of USW Local 7600.
On behalf of USW Local 7600 President Valery Robinson, We are thankful for all of our USW healthcare heroes.
