  You've made it clear through our strike assessment, feedback during our town halls and by participating in Union Solidarity Days that you will not settle for anything less than the fair contract we all deserve.

  We continue to review KP's proposals, but will move forward with a vote to determine whether to grant our local negotiators the authority to institute a strike if necessary.

  Please click on the option below that works best for your schedule. Come prepared to the vote with a mask and your employee I.D. so we can verify your membership. Session will last from 30-45 minutes.

  Kim Kmit created UPDATE: Mine Rescue Efforts Well Underway, 27 Miners Safely Evacuated

  Sept. 28, 2021 13:38 UTCSUDBURY, Ontario--(...

  Sept. 28, 2021 13:38 UTC

  SUDBURY, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rescue efforts to safely evacuate the 39 miners temporarily trapped underground at Vale's Totten Mine in Sudbury are well underway, with 27 miners having been safely returned to the surface.

  A team of doctors is on-site, checking workers as they emerge. No one has been physically injured in the incident or in the evacuation. The highly trained rescue team has been working since last night to evacuate the miners who have been trapped underground since mid-day on Sunday. Food, water and other necessities are available and workers are being given rides home.

  “When an incident like this unfortunately happens, everyone comes together. The miners support each other, the highly trained mine rescue teams come together and the whole community waits patiently praying for the safe return of every one of the 39 miners to surface,” said Nick Larochelle, USW Local 6500 President, representing 30 of the 39 miners. Union officials have been on-site all night at the mine and are working closely with Vale for the safe return of all miners.

  “We are all trying to be patient, which is very difficult in this circumstance. Our thoughts are with the miners who are still underground and their families,” Larochelle said. The rescuers are doing an excellent job and are working hard to bring everyone up as quickly as possible, he added.

  “We have made great improvements to health and safety when it comes to mining, this is an important example of why we can never lose focus on safe work for everyone – whatever their job is.”

  USW Local 6500 will be hosting a press conference once all of the miners have been safely returned to the surface.

  Mollie Relihan created Sept. 17: USW 7600 Pauses Partnership

  Throughout our contract negotiations, KP has made outrageous demands....

  Throughout our contract negotiations, KP has made outrageous demands. Management is refusing to act as an equal partner by proposing below market wage increases to frontline workers who put their lives and their families at risk throughout the pandemic.

  Our USW Local leadership has decided to immediately pause Partnership. Everything is at stake. The health care giant is not taking the partnership seriously. We are fighting for safe staffing, wages and benefits that reflect our standards of care and quality employees, and equal pay for equal work. KP continues to pursue its harmful priority of costs over quality and insists on dividing the workforce. See the copy of our letter to management  here
  

  They have left us no choice but to pause any participation the Partnership activities and demand that KP invest in patient care and invest in workers. In conjunction with UNAC/UHCP, we are 30,000 members standing strong together to send a message of solidarity to KP throughout the Inland Empire. 

  You can support this pause by not attending any UBT meetings, all other LMP Committees, any LMP training activities, steering committees, and any joint labor management committees.

  We will discuss our next steps, including a potential strike vote to show KP our members are willing to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to win. 

  Join us for our town halls Tuesday, September 21 at 7:30 am, 12:30 pm and 7:00pm.

  	Kaiser continues to emphasize the need for flexibility and keeping costs the same. Our position is that we are flexible and our members deserve more. Management should be flexible as well. In our service area, KP is paying us lower wages than other workers in California who are doing the same work for higher pay while our cost of living continues to rise. Our wages should reflect the blood, sweat, and tears we provide every day.		Kaiser continues to emphasize the need for flexibility and keeping costs the same.
