SEIU Local 721 represents people working in hospitals, foster care, mental health, courts, law enforcement, libraries, street services, beach maintenance, sanitation, water treatment, parks services, and watershed management.
The hard work of SEIU Local 721 members keeps some of America’s largest counties and world-class cities running – including Los Angeles, Ventura, Riverside and Santa Barbara, as well as municipalities like Azusa, Beaumont, Palm Springs, Pasadena, San Fernando and Santa Ana, among others. SEIU Local 721 also represents workers at publicly funded non-profits, like health clinics, in addition to employees of special districts and private universities.
The mission of SEIU Local 721 extends beyond securing strong contracts that provide good pay, benefits and retirement security for our members. Our union fundamentally believes in the need to lift all working families because we understand that our strength as workers is grounded in our ability to rise together.
