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.
