Riverside County Members Call Out County CEO Jay Orr on Shady Wall Street Deal and Sweet-heart Contracts
The condemnation from the County’s frontline workers and community advocates comes at a time Riverside County is proposing reckless cuts at the bargaining table on the back of public employees and at the cost of cuts in services. The mismanagement of public dollars has inhibited Riverside County from prioritizing funding for the urgent needs in the County.
Dangerous and Unsafe Working Conditions throughout Riverside County Spur SEIU 721 Members to Resort to Self-Defense!
In response to the increasingly dangerous working conditions that have been continually ignored by Riverside County management, Riverside County SEIU 721 members have begun participating in three self-defense classes this week at worksites across the County to equip members with the skills needed to stay safe on the job.
More Self-Defense Trainings in Riverside County!
Dozens of you asked for more self-defense trainings after the very successful class at the Local in January, and it’s finally here! Don’t miss the opportunity to attend one of these three classes happening at worksites throughout the County. We refuse to be victims!

Processions & Vigils to Protect Healthcare in Lancaster & Fullerton
In a peaceful demonstration, concerned patients, providers and community members walked from 38th St W and Paddock Way, to Knight’s Lancaster home, and from Hiltscher Park to Royce’s Fullerton home, on Thursday evening, to deliver a clear message to the Congressmen about the harm they have wrought.
Emergency Processions & Vigils in Fullerton & Lancaster on February 23
Ed Royce and Steve Knight refuse to meet with us, so we have to take our stories to their doorsteps.
Congressmen Royce and Knight voted to defund and repeal our country’s healthcare system without a plan to replace it. This means all of us are going to pay more for fewer benefits and less coverage.
Because Congressmen Royce and Knight voted to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 5 million in California will lose health coverage, and 334,000 in the Golden State will lose jobs.
With no coverage but the emergency room, every year, 43,956 Americans will die.
