Your Negotiating Committee met with the Hospital all day today to continue negotiations. Much discussion around the Union’s wage proposals took place, but no agreement was reached.
We are scheduled to meet again next week - March 19th. We are hopeful that we will have more substantive information to report following those negotiations.
We have continued being creative and flexible in our efforts to secure fair wage increases and recognition for your sacrifices over the course of this last difficult year. The Hospital is deliberating over our last proposal, and owes the Union a more formal response when we reconvene.
Continue to let your supervisors know that they need to run the message up the ladder – WE DESERVE RECOGNITION FOR OUR SACRIFICES SERVING THE LBMMC COMMUNITY.
Nothing is stronger than working people focused and acting in solidarity to achieve a common goal – and we are united in our demands for JUSTICE AND DIGNITY at LBMMC.
BE SAFE!
In Unity from Your USW Local 2801 Negotiating Committee, Bridgette Perry, Ana Figueroa, Milton Lomas & the Team from the USW Int’l Union

Many members have indicated that they believe the coding of their absences is incorrect and that absences may have been counted as “last minute sick” where they should have been coded differently, for example as COVID leave or other types of leave. In other cases members believe their payment is simply miscalculated.
KP has not established a clear process for resolving these issues, and members are receiving conflicting advice in reaching out to HR about how to resolve any issues.
The Alliance has contacted senior KP leadership to establish a process for resolving these issues, and will be following up with more detailed guidance once we receive a response from management. We are committed to making sure that everyone gets the PSP amount they are entitled to, and that any errors are corrected promptly. Realistically, we do not believe these can be corrected by Friday’s paycheck but are working to get this resolved as quickly as possible. If you believe you have been paid incorrectly, you can help expedite the resolution by checking your attendance records and by documenting as much detail as you can about the error you believe KP has made.
