San Bernardino Memorial and Victims Fund Launched as Part of Multiyear Effort to Support the Long-Term Needs of San Bernardino Victims and Families
As families gather to mark the Holiday Season, SEIU Local 721, in collaboration with Labor Community Services, are launching a multiyear memorial fund to benefit the families of those killed on December 2, 2015, as well as to provide support to the San Bernardino County employees directly impacted by the tragedy.
Holiday hours at all SEIU 721 offices will be modified. All offices will close at 1 p.m. on Christmas and New Year’s Eve; closed on Christmas and New Year’s days. Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday.
City workers have proven that we can beat back any concession that hurts working families and the city we care for. We look forward to continue working with our city leaders so that together we can take even more steps to Fix LA.
Both SEIU 721 and the International have committed to continue providing mental and support services as the workers try to move forward after this traumatic event.
WE DID IT! –
We’re FIXing LA
LA City workers vote to ratify a winning contract! With a 94% YES vote SEIU 721 members overwhelmingly voted for a contract that protects good middle-class jobs and restores vital community services.

The elected bargaining team members demanded clarity and accuracy on the intent of the agreement reflected in the summary. After hours of discussion and meetings with the Los Angeles City CAO all outstanding issues have been resolved and mitigated. Your bargaining team is now supporting the tentative agreement with City of L.A. and urging a yes vote.
This is our Moment.
