(Portland, OR) -- Kaiser Permanente workers in Oregon and several other states will vote this week on a tentative contract agreement. Kaiser and the healthcare workers union announced the tentative agreement late last week following months of disagreement and a three-day strike earlier this month. Union leaders say the agreement includes competitive wages and benefits, plus development and training to boost staffing. Union members will vote on the contract on Wednesday. If approved, the contract will affect 85-thousand workers across California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Maryland, Virginia, and D.C.
