On Monday November 28th, our bargaining team continued to deliver our comprehensive proposals designed to relieve the burden of healthcare premium increases and ensure the vital services our members provide are valued.
SEIU Local 721 County of Ventura members sent a message to the Board of Supervisors, in person: “Give us thanks for a job well done!”
When it comes to protecting vital public services, our County of Ventura members are ready to do Whatever It Takes! Members across the county have come together to lift their collective voice, demanding that the county invest in our community!
The Fight Is Just Beginning
The election on November 8th should have been a triumph for working people and our country. Instead it was a tragedy.
SEIU Local 721 County of Ventura members showed up in full force at the Tues., Nov. 15 Board of Supervisors meeting!
Now more than ever we have to unite to fight for our community. We are gearing up the field and our unity and solidarity will provide the foundation to move the county in the right direction.
However, the county’s offer is NOT a commitment to invest in our community!
While County of Ventura families are reeling from the upcoming healthcare premium rate hikes, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors are taking care of their first order of business, MANAGEMENT RAISES!
Make no bones about it – the County’s proposed wage increases will not even cover the health insurance rate hikes.
It’s in our hands to champion a contract that guarantees living wages for all, prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of all residents and frontline workers, and restores public services to the highest levels.
At the table, the biggest issue is ensuring that we have accessible and affordable quality healthcare. We’re taking this fight for affordable healthcare head on for our families and for our community.
