  • Important Update on Kaiser Pension Plans
    These are tough economic times for all of us. And the value of Kaiser Permanente’s pension plans, like most personal and corporate assets, has declined in recent months. We’ve worked hard to minimize this decline, maintain sound funding levels and ensure the future of our pensions. To that end, Kaiser Permanente and the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions have reached an agreement to protect KP pension plans, in the interest of KP employees.
