LOS ANGELES >> A new labor agreement has been reached between one of America’s largest health care HMOs — Kaiser Permanente — and 51,000 workers in Southern California.

Statewide, 105,000 unionized Kaiser Permanente workers in 28 union locals are covered by the tentative new agreement, according to a joint statement put out by the massive HMO and a coalition of union members.

The proposed contract gives workers a 2-to-4 percent pay hike, depending on where they work and when their current contract expires.

A joint statement said the agreement also includes enhancement to dental insurance, life insurance and tuition reimbursement.
