“A union proposal submitted in early August calls for 7 percent annual raises for the first two years of a four-year contract, tapering down to 6.25 percent in the third and fourth year. It would also set a $25 per hour minimum wage across the company and create a joint committee to handle retirement investments.
“The company’s Sept. 25 proposal includes wage increases of 4 percent in each of the first two years and 3 percent in the third and fourth years for Northern California and Washington, with 3 percent annual raises for facilities in other parts of the country. Kaiser wants to set minimum hourly pay rates of $21 to $23 for 2024, to be increased by $1 each year until 2026.”
