Common use of PRIVILEGES AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARTNERSHIP Clause in Contracts

PRIVILEGES AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARTNERSHIP. A. COMMITMENT TO PARTNERSHIP Section 1 presents an integrated approach to service quality, performance improvement, workforce development, education and training, and creation of an environment responsive to organizational, employee and union interests. In addition, it provides a process to solve problems as close to the point at which they arise as possible, respecting the interests of all parties. The Partnership Agreement Review Process in Section 1.L.2. applies to disputes arising out of Section 1, but is meant to be used as a last resort. With this Agreement, the Coalition and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Permanente assume a set of privileges and obligations. These include, but are not limited to, employment and income security, union security, access to information, including the responsibility to maintain confidentiality concerning sensitive information, participation in the governance structure and participation in performance sharing plans. There is a joint commitment to identify, and by mutual agreement, incorporate our own successful practices and those of other high-performance organizations into each facility. The parties will work diligently to increase and enhance flexibility in work scheduling and work assignments to enhance service, quality and financial performance while meeting the interests of employees and their unions. We share a willingness to work in good faith to resolve jurisdictional issues in order to increase work team flexibility and performance, and we share a commitment to marketing ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Permanente as the Employer and care provider of choice. In addition, it is absolutely critical for KP to grow its membership and adapt to a changing health care market. We believe that much of the new growth opportunities could come from new government initiatives that emerge out of national health care reform. The parties commit to the involvement of high-level Union, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Permanente and Kaiser Health Plan leaders to work together on growth strategies. The parties will work in a proactive manner on other growth potential, including discussing both contiguous and non-contiguous opportunities, new geographies and regions, mergers and acquisitions that best position opportunities for KP to grow more quickly and respond to opportunities, and will explore new health care vehicles that could be made available to union trust funds, multiemployer trust funds and single employers. Members of the Labor Management Partnership, including ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Permanente and all individual Coalition local unions, shall not pursue, sponsor or support legislation or ballot initiatives, which are specifically targeted at and the primary purpose of which is to harm a member of the other party. Members of the Partnership agree to follow the spirit and intent of the National Agreement, and where disputes arise, the parties will follow the dispute resolution process of Section 1.L.2 toward this end. The parties shall work together to explore and utilize available growth opportunities. This requires positioning to ensure that we are a major player in current and future debates over national health care reform. The parties shall emphasize the unique advantages of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Permanente model.
