The largest labor-management partnership in U.S. healthcare · 1997–
Proof that partnership scales.
Founded in 1997 between Kaiser Permanente and the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, the LMP is the largest and most-studied labor-management partnership in the country — built on unit-based teams and interest-based bargaining across hundreds of thousands of workers.
Unit-based teams & interest-based bargaining at scale
Frontline teams of workers, managers, and clinicians solve operational problems together year-round, while contracts are reached through interest-based bargaining rather than positional fights.
Studies document better quality, a better workplace, and durable labor peace at once — the institutional case that high-road labor relations outperform the low road.
The Kaiser LMP is the working model for what an FQHC partnership can become — start small, with one standing committee and one shared problem.
