Your bargaining committee congratulates you for your resilience in delivering this agreement and recommends a YES vote. Here’s how you can make your voice count by casting your vote through one of the following ways:
SEIU Local 721 and the County of Los Angeles have reached a Tentative Agreement on a new three-year contract. Detailed tentative agreement summaries, including significant gains on bargaining unit specific issues, will be available soon. At as many worksites as possible, membership meetings will be held to review the tentative agreements prior to the ratification vote. More information on ratification coming very soon, stay tuned. For now, here are some of the highlights and breakthroughs.
SEIU 721 members in the City of Santa Paula voted by a large margin to approve the tentative agreement.
This was the second vote on a tentative agreement, members rejected the first one. After members spoke up before the last city council meeting closed session, the council assured them that they would set up a process to become more informed on future bargaining negotiations.
After several days of round-the clock bargaining, most SEIU 721 bargaining committees have reached tentative agreements with L.A. County.
LA County bargaining teams engaged in intense negotiations on Wednesday and Thursday of last week with Los Angeles County; although we made great strides in the right direction we still have a last push this week.
On Tuesday hundreds of LA County members descended on the Hall of Administration to demand a fair contract that respects our work.
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.
Great news! MOU 18 is recommending a YES Vote. Deadline for voting has been extended until MONDAY SEPTEMBER 28th for MOU 18 only.
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.
In support of our fellow nurse, Miss Colorado, we nurses wear more than a stethoscope. We wear the concerns, welfare and well-being of our patients, community and profession. As LA county nurses, we are patients’ advocates; we take care of our vulnerable populations, uninsured and underinsured, underserved and private sector patients.
In our “VIEW” we provide vital services to our clients and to the community and are certainly not “just a nurse.”
