The Chinese Community Health Plan of San Francisco said Wednesday it will extend health care coverage for two months to hotel workers who are locked out of their jobs, if the labor dispute is not resolved before benefits expire Dec. 1.

The decision, made with the Chinese Hospital and Chinese Community Health Care Association, follows word Tuesday that Kaiser Permanente will extend coverage for two months to 3,500 union workers, as well as their families, locked out of work at 14 San Francisco hotels. In all, about 4,300 union hotel workers stand to lose health care.

Some 190 hotel workers and their families are enrolled in the Chinese Community Health Plan.

"We are doing this because it is consistent with our mission to serve our community,'' said Richard Loos, chief executive of the plan.

The remaining 610 locked-out hotel workers involved in the labor dispute are covered by PacifiCare, which is considering a request from the hotel workers' union, Unite Here Local 2, to extend coverage, a union spokeswoman said Wednesday.
