“As workers, we are constantly under siege. Labor Day is a time to come
out and be with our union family to celebrate our accomplishments together.
Whether you are in contract negotiations now or will be there soon, all SEIU Local
721 members should stand together and be united. It’s our day.”
-Joaquin Miramontes, LA County Supervising Social Worker and SEIU 721 delegate
to the LA/LB Harbor Labor Coalition
