American Red Cross Contract Campaign Meeting Sunday, March 14 2010 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM SEIU 721 500 S Virgil Ave Los Angeles 90020 Click here to RSVP

Contract Negotiations between SEIU 721 members and the American Red Cross began March 4 and the elected union committee submitted a first proposal to management that contains items important to ARC workers such as: donor and blood safety; preserving or improving benefits, especially health insurance; and protecting our rights as union members of SEIU 721.
The union committee is comprised of ARC employees and their duty is to represent member interests in negotiations with management. Our goal is to win for all American Red Cross workers in Southern California, so support from all members during negotiations out at the mobile blood drives and donor centers is critical.  We can only win if we show our solidarity and remain united!
                    
We will have complete updates at our next union meeting, on Sunday March 14. Attendance to this meeting is very important! For more information, contact an ARC union steward, or call Adriel Peterson at 213.305.5749.
