When Greg Adams became CEO in 2019, Kaiser Permanente was known nationwide as a model for partnership — a place where workers and management solved problems together in the interest of patients.
Under his leadership, that legacy has eroded into division, mistrust, and unprecedented labor unrest.
The Labor-Management Partnership, once a cornerstone of Kaiser’s success, has been sidelined. Major operational decisions are made without worker input. The trust that built Kaiser’s reputation as “the best place to work and the best place to receive care” has been replaced with unilateral decision-making and disregard for front-line experience.
Since Mr. Adams took office, Kaiser has faced more strikes than at any point in its history. Workers across nearly every region have been forced to strike to defend high-quality patient care and staffing standards. These are not isolated incidents, but a systemic breakdown in the commitment to collaboration and accountability at the top.
Vacancy rates have soared, morale has plummeted, and patient access is increasingly at risk. The organization’s mission — to provide high-quality, affordable care while supporting those who deliver it — has been compromised.
For these reasons, your bargaining team leadership is recommending a vote of No Confidence in Greg Adams’ leadership and the direction he is taking Kaiser Permanente.
