Kaiser to cut 1,200 jobs in Northern California
Kaiser Permanente on Tuesday disclosed plans to eliminate 1,200 jobs in Northern California (about 2 percent of its Northern California workforce), citing uncertainties over the economy, federal health care legislation and shrinking reimbursements for Medicare.
The jobs will be eliminated in the Bay Area, the Sacramento region, and the Central Valley area south to Fresno, Kaiser spokesman Jim Caroompas said.
Roughly one-third of the affected positions are temporary, on-call, or short-hour positions. All 1,200 of the positions are unionized.

Anyone heard rumors that K-P will cut 10% of it’s overall workforce?
