Contract negotiations between the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 721 non-tenure track (NTT) bargaining team and the University began with a bargaining meeting on Dec. 20, 2024.
Labor, faith and social justice organizations such as SEIU 721, SEIU USWW, SEIU 2015, UTLA, CARCEN, Korean Resource Center, ACCE, Community Coalition and many others joined CHIRLA for the march.
In honor of International Migrants Day, local organizations and hundreds of people rallied in downtown Los Angeles in an act of solidarity with immigrants, who fear President-elect Donald Trump’s promised plans for mass deportation.
The union representing 55,000 L.A. County workers said Tuesday it had reached an agreement with the county, averting a strike that would have shut down many public services.
The union added that the Sept. 24th rally outside the Hall of Administration prompted Chair of the L.A. County Board of Supervisor Lindsey Horvath “to request an emergency meeting with SEIU 721 President David Green and County CEO Fesia Davenport.”
Union President David Green said in a statement that the county “has come back to the bargaining table to officially resume contract negotiations with our union.”
