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.
