2025 City of Riverside Strike Authorization Vote Refuse Unit
Despite our essential contributions to the City of Riverside and its residents, City management wants to treat us like second-class employees.
While other City workers are being offered double-digit raises, Riverside has only offered us 7.5% over three years!
On top of that, they have:
- rejected our proposal for a compensation study
- are trying to move us from a four day workweek to a five day workweek
- proposed eliminating our “me too” clause – which guarantees a like raise should management, executives, supervisors or non-represented employees receive an across the board increase.
We won’t be left behind! It’s time to take action and ensure we win what we deserve!
Our bargaining team has called for City of Riverside members to take a strike authorization vote. A strike authorization gives our bargaining team the power to call for a strike should they decide that it’s necessary.
Online strike authorization voting is now available. Use the button below to cast your ballot online. Online voting will close at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25.
In-person voting is still available at worksites in the coming days. You may only cast one ballot, if you cast both an in-person and an online ballot, only your in-person ballot will be counted.
