We Have a Tentative Agreement in the City of Riverside!

We are pleased to announce that our Bargaining Team has reached a Tentative Agreement with the City of Riverside.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic economic fallout ravaging local budgets throughout California — we protected what’s ours! We were able to push the City to agree to a status quo 1-year deal, which is what our Bargaining Team was after from the get-go in this economic reality.

Our current medical premium sharing system was maintained and there was no salary reductions. This is a big win. You stood #UnionStrong to fight tooth and nail to protect what we have.

Please RSVP to attend the **General Membership meeting via Zoom on Nov 30th at 6PM to get all the information you need from your Bargaining Team, and have your questions answered:  RSVP here https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0rcOmrrTksEtexlyivWX_KELps_5Rv1sLb 

**Online voting begins on Monday, November 30th at 7PM and will last through Friday, December 4th at 5PM.

**ONLY UNION MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE AND ATTEND THE ZOOM MEETING
