Financing for future deals may become more selective even as increasing numbers of state and local governments turn to leasing their assets to bolster coffers diminished by the sagging economy.

Healing Together: The Labor-Management Partnership at Kaiser Permanente

by Thomas A. Kochan; Adrienne E. Eaton; Robert B. McKersie; Paul S. Adler



Kaiser Permanente is the largest

managed care organization in the

country. It also happens to have

the largest and most complex

labor-management partnership

ever created in the United States.

This book tells the story of that

partnership-how it started, how it

grew, who made it happen, and

the lessons to be learned from its

successes and complications.

With twenty-seven unions and

an organization as complex as

8.6-million-member Kaiser

Permanente, establishing the

partnership was not a simple

task and maintaining it has

proven to be extraordinarily

challenging.
