95% of us voted in favor of the Tentative Agreement negotiated by our San Bernardino Professionals’ Bargaining Team! Our tireless work over the past year has paid off: We’ve proven that we’re stronger together with SEIU 721. We did it!
The RN Professional Council (RNPC) and RN Bargaining Committee (RNBC) would like to invite you to join us for a special dinner meeting taking place on the last Wednesday of every month:
Thanks to SEIU member leadership, the Tri-Counties Regional Center has received additional funding from the State of California (ABX2-1 funds) and a large portion of those funds are required to be used for employee salaries. Salary increases are key to retaining the experienced professionals that our communities need to serve families with disabilities.
L.A. County’s Eligibility Workers (EWs) are leading the charge to better deliver and improve services at DPSS. They’ve sounded the alarm on the ongoing issues that inhibit EWs from delivering critical services in a timely manner to the County’s most vulnerable populations, and they’re making headway with DPSS management!
The SEIU Local 721 Santa Barbara County bargaining team met with County negotiators for its initial session. The SEIU team is in the process of formulating its proposals which will help strengthen Santa Barbara County – for workers and the rest of the community.
Earlier today the Supreme Court issued a 4 to 4 split decision in US v Texas. This is a blow against millions of working families, including members of SEIU Local 721.
SEIU 721 leaders, staff and L.A. County children’s social workers huddled in June to plan the fight against recent efforts to scapegoat CSWs for the child safety crisis at L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services.
We did it! After a year of organizing and action, we’ve secured a deal that begins the long process of restoring vital San Bernardino County services hobbled by attrition and short-staffing. Our tireless work as SEIU 721 members has paid off! Our San Bernardino Professionals Bargaining Team won one of the best contracts negotiated in years: One that includes pay raises and restorations, better medical and retirement benefits, new bonuses and allowances, an investment in public services and stronger grievance procedures to amplify the power of our voice on the job!
Please join us Saturday, June 18 for food, beverages, inspirational words, music, and dancing in commemoration of Juneteenth. This event is free to all SEIU Local 721 members. Guest tickets are available for $5 each. Please call the Member Connection to RSVP today! 1-877-721-4YOU
While many people will be talking about election results for various offices in the California June Primary, I wanted to take a moment to congratulate LA County Superior Court Workers. All of our endorsed candidates for LA County Superior Court Judge made it into the top two yesterday, and will go on to the general election. I want to especially congratulate all the union members that took the time to interview the candidates at the union endorsement town hall meeting back in February.
