SEIU members of 211 LA County overwhelmingly ratified a new contract agreement with the 211 LA County management that includes no wage cuts, maintains the Step Wage System, and strengthens language that empowers the union to meet with management about issues going forward.
When ballots were tallied September 8, 100% of 211 workers who voted in
the election cast ballots to approve the new agreement.
“In these hard economic times, I am glad we were able to get the
best possible contract we could and it is a blessing there are no cuts
to current wage and benefit levels. This contract allows us to continue
to provide quality referral services to the community.”
— Carolyn Stubblefield, Community Resource Advisor and Steward
During bargaining management also assured the 211 LA County
bargaining team that they will immediately engage in further
conversation around changes pertaining to Productivity and Quality
Assurance policies that were not included in the tentative agreement but
were important issues on the table.
211 workers are proud to
have reached a tentative agreement that values the workers providing
essential services for LA County residents. Now they look forward to bringing their message of strength through unity to the “Fight for a Fair Economy”
