Senior VP Barb Grim, along with Marianne Giordano, president of OPEIU Local 30, recently participated in a forum hosted by U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis about workplace flexibility. The forum was sponsored by the Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau and focused on helping hourly workers gain some of the scheduling and other flexibility offered to professional women. It’s natural that KP was in the house, Grimm and Giordano say, given that 73 percent of KP’s workforce is women. Even more importantly, they say, our partnership goes way beyond scheduling to a real commitment to transforming the organization.
