ESC Local 20 is so proud of our healthcare heroes on the front lines who are fighting hard to provide care to our patients amid the surge of COVID-19, and we are making sure that they are prioritized to receive the COVID-19 vaccine so they can continue to be the heroes our communities need.

Our activism has worked! Kaiser has agreed to our demand for a Hero Bonus for all 85,000 members of the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions across the country, and will be extending our COVID-19 paid leave benefits through March 31 and our childcare grants through April 3.

ESC Local 20 members join 80,000 other Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Union members to overwhelmingly ratify the National Agreement with a 96% “YES” vote. With very strong turnout, all Local contracts were decisively passed across all bargaining units!

It is with a heavy heart that we express our deepest condolences to John Mader, President of Engineers and Scientists of California (ESC) Local 20, IFPTE, who unexpectedly lost his wife, Sandie, earlier this month.
Want to help? Please contribute here to funeral expenses and support of Sandie’s children. 

Over the last 18 months, members at ESC Local 20 and Coalition Unions across the nation fought hard and stood united to protect quality patient care, to preserve middle class jobs, and to restore the Labor Management Partnership– and we did it. Read the details of the Tentative Agreements.

Nominations may now be submitted for President, Optometry Unit Vice President, and Medical Professional Unit Vice President by a letter signed by no less than ten (10) members in good standing of the union and must be received at the union office no later than Tuesday, October 15, 2019.
