Detroit Mayor Dave Bing wants to privatize services provided by the much-maligned Public Lighting Department.


...... John Riehl, president of AFSCME Local 207, which represents about 20 of the 200 lighting employees, said his union would fight an attempt to privatize. He said the city charter requires a 60% majority of voters to support such a move.

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.
