Who'll feed meters that go away?

Developers and businesses in Chicago fear they could be on the hook for millions of dollars when they want to replace a parking space with a driveway or a loading zone.

The reason: Mayor Richard M. Daley's controversial $1.16-billion deal to privatize the city's parking meters requires that whenever a metered parking space is eliminated, somebody has to pay for it -- and if it's not business, it likely will be Chicago drivers.

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.
