With SEIU 721 LA County members set to receive a 5.5% raise in their October 30 paychecks — the biggest raise in county history — and additional raises coming over the next two years, it’s worth remembering the union difference.

But the funding behind all these holiday-themed emails, mailers and uninvited home visits comes from a sinister group funded by right-wing billionaire Grinches who want to steal a lot more than just Christmas.

From the historic guilty verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd to the outcry against Georgia Republicans’ efforts to pass laws discouraging Black Georgia residents from voting — there’s a renewed discussion about how structural racism hurts people of color.
- [March April 2021](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/march-april-2021.php) - It’s an honor to serve as President of SEIU Local 721. We’re a union dedicated to change, to fixing society’s problems and creating a more just economy.

- [President's Road Ahead Report 2020-2021](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/presidents-road-ahead-report-2020-2021.php) - While I’m glad 2020 is behind us, it confirmed two really important things for me. First, SEIU 721 members are courageous, committed and resourceful enough to hold our communities together in the face of the worst crisis in modern times. Second, these same qualities helped us build a union that fought to protect frontline workers when the White House refused to.
- [October November 2020](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/october-november-2020.php) - When Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell adjourned the U.S. Senate on October 26, he doomed any chance of additional federal stimulus, abandoning millions of small business owners, workers and families desperate for support.
- [September October 2020](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/september-october-2020.php) - Everybody already knows this November’s election is the most important in a generation.

- [August September 2020](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/august-september-2020.php) - Nelson Mandela said “A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.” Wise words, because the fight for workers’ rights these days isn’t just hard — more often than not, it’s also long. That’s why having a strong union is so important, you have to have the resources to stay in the fight for as long as it takes.
- [July August 2020](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/july-august-2020.php) - Want proof that the workers in SEIU 721 are heroes? Most Americans have never faced a generation-defining crisis — Meanwhile SEIU members are tackling three of them head-on.
- [June July 2020](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/june-july-2020.php) - Working people in America are at a crossroads. The federal response to COVID-19 has been a national shame.

Nearly 40 million
- [April May 2020](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/april-may-2020.php) - Public workers literally are holding our society together, often risking their own health and safety to keep cities and counties running.

I am writing to share that, on April 2, I was selected by SEIU California’s Executive Board to serve as president of the organization. SEIU California is composed of SEIU locals representing more than 700,000 workers across the state...
- [July August 2018](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/july-august-2018.php) - If you want clear proof of why public employees need unions, just take a look at management’s initial proposals at the bargaining table in LA County: • A wage proposal that doesn’t even come close to covering inflation in LA’s skyrocketing housing market. • A freeze on employer payments for health care, despite spiraling health care costs. • An attempt to roll back or eliminate Flex Earnings, the payments LA County workers receive to offset their share of increasingly costly health insurance.
- [June July 2018](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/june-july-2018.php) - As Mark Twain once said, “rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.” To listen to the Washington, D.C. pundits, he might as well have been talking about the American Labor Movement. To be sure, the Supreme Court’s misguided Janus decision is a severe blow to working people. But we’ve known for years that this day was coming, and we planned, prepared and organized.
- [May June 2018](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/may-june-2018.php) - By the time you read this, the United States Supreme Court probably will have ruled in Janus v. AFSCME, a case that threatens decades of progress and precedent protecting workers’ rights to form and operate unions.
- [April May 2018](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/april-may-2018.php) - For decades, public sector workers in California have fought for a society that lifts everyone up.

That we’re all equal and everyone deserves opportunity, freedom from hunger and access to health care.
- [February 2018](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/february-2018.php) - Working people in America have been pushed to the edge. In the public sector, we’re fighting to keep our communities healthy and safe with declining resources and rising demands. At SEIU 721, we’ve built a powerful union that protects vital public services and the workers who provide them. It’s why ultra-conservative billionaires are trying to cripple organizations like ours with the “Right to Work” scam. It’s also why full union membership is must-have protection for your job, your rights in the workplace and the quality of life in your community.
- [March April 2018](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/march-april-2018.php) - On February 26th, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case called Janus v.

In the face of these attacks, we launched Rise and Resist to recruit, train and activate member leaders to expose Right to Work. As a result, we’ve fought back all over Southern California and won.
- [September 2017](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/september-2017.php) - On September 6th and 7th, thousands of SEIU 721 members picketed Riverside University Health System to highlight management’s refusal to protect patients and health care professionals with metal detectors and enhanced security despite a constant flow of weapons smuggled into county emergency rooms. They marched on the County Administration Center to expose county management’s refusal to disclose details of costly failed swap deals with banking giant Wells Fargo and a $40 million sweetheart consulting contract with Dutch consulting firm KPMG.
- [August 2017](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/august-2017.php) - After a year of stonewalling, worker harassment and unfair labor practices by county management, Riverside County SEIU 721 members have had enough. On August 29th, 721 members marched on the Riverside Board of Supervisors and issued a formal notice for a countywide strike.
- [July 2017](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/july-2017.php) - SEIU 721 Members Pledge To Protect Our Union Voice!

- [August 2014](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/august-2014.php) - What a difference a month makes. In June, pundits were predicting the Supreme Court decision in Harris v. Quinn would effectively end the union movement. While the ruling was wrong-headed, it was far from the predicted deathblow.
- [December 2014](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/december-2014.php) - Watching bargaining with the City of L.A. earlier this month, I felt like I was trapped in a Charles Dickens novel. That’s because Los Angeles is becoming a Tale of Two Cities. In the first, workers sacrifice to help the city thrive and wind up being punished for it. In the second, the big banks that broke the economy and top City of L.A. executives get rewarded. In the first L.A., city workers stepped up and helped bail out the city in the wake of the 2007 Wall Street crash, losing 5,000 positions.
- [November 2014](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/november-2014.php) - Earlier this month, 721 members gathered high up in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains for a day-long summit on the future of our work in L.A. County. From the vantage point of the Mount St. Mary’s campus, L.A. looks completely different. It’s a good reminder that, when it seems like we face insurmountable problems, we need to shift our perspective to find a way to win.
- [October 2014](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/october-2014.php) - 721 members who’ve participated in Sacramento lobby days know that it’s hot, stressful and often tedious work. But it’s all worth it if, after all the running between offices in the sweltering Sacramento sun, the marathon committee hearings, the rushed meetings with harried legislators and the line-by-line review of bills, you score victories like 721 members just achieved for county eligibility workers and children’s social workers.
- [September 2014](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/september-2014.php) - 721 members would fight to increase L.A.’s minimum wage even if it didn’t benefit them directly — the gap between the richest Angelenos and average workers is the widest it’s ever been. But winning a minimum wage increase for all L.A. workers isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s good for every member of 721.
- [April 2014](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/april-2014.php) - We’re bringing up some new ideas in the City of Los Angeles—ones that can make the city a whole lot better for our members and all residents. We want to fix LA and restore neighborhood services to every single community in the city.
- [March 2014](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/march-2014.php) - I’ve got some big news. At the end of February, SEIU 721 members at St. John’s Well Child and Family Center voted overwhelmingly to ratify a new three year contract. It contains improved healthcare benefits, provides for better staff development and safeguards employee vacation time. These are all important wins for our members. But that’s not the whole story.
- [February 2014](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/february-2014.php) - It wasn’t easy, but we changed the conversation. When our LA County Children’s Social Workers went out on strike last December, no one could really predict how it would end. All of our LA County members had worked hard for nine months to win a good contract. We held rallies, mass pickets and a huge walk-out on Oct. 1.
- [January 2014](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/january-2014.php) - The new year is here, and I’ve started thinking about what’s ahead for Local 721 members. One positive trend is that the economy is finally picking up and that means we’re seeing more money in our contracts. In the City of Riverside, Oxnard, Santa Barbara, Santa Ana, LA County and elsewhere, SEIU 721 members have negotiated strong contracts that include raises.
- [December 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/december-2015.php) - Today, our union is gripped by sorrow in the wake of the tragedy in San Bernardino. In what has become a weekly occurrence, a mass shooting has claimed the lives of innocent Americans and injured many more. This attack is particularly close to home. Of the 14 people killed on December 2nd, 10 were SEIU 721 members. Of the 22 injured, 15 were members of our union.
- [November 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/november-2015.php) - Last summer, many national pundits wrote the American worker’s obituary. They said the union movement would die in a hail of lawsuits from the Koch Brothers and other anti-worker extremists that make it harder for workers to join unions.

- [October 2015 - Annual Report](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/october-2015-annual-report.php) - A year ago, we knew Southern California workers’ backs were against the wall and our union would face some of the toughest fights in our history. At our member summit last November, we decided going it alone with old tactics wouldn’t work. Instead, we focused on building alliances with other unions, community groups, and clergy.
- [September 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/september-2015.php) - Last month, SEIU 721 scored a major ballot box victory — electing candidates to two powerful pension boards that, while largely unknown to the general public, are vitally important to the retirement security of 721 members.
- [August 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/august-2015.php) - We’re four months into contract negotiations with LA County and county negotiators have yet to present a fair proposal to county workers. Enough is enough—in August, we’re going to bring the heat.
- [July 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/july-2015.php) - It’s no surprise a lot of public workers dread budget time. Hiding behind jargon and buried under euphemisms like “budget optimization,” “realignment,” and “paradigm shift” is the same old story: politicians and managers want frontline public workers to do more with less. They want them to help the most vulnerable in our communities and they want them to do it with smaller budgets, fewer workers, bigger caseloads and heavier workloads.
- [June 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/june-2015.php) - After years of hard work, Los Angeles workers finally got the raise they deserved and I’m proud that our union played a lead role in delivering it. Thanks in large part to the efforts of SEIU 721 members and staff and a broad coalition of community groups, the Los Angeles City Council voted 14-1 on June 10th to raise the City’s minimum wage in phases from the current $9 an hour to $15 an hour by the year 2020.
- [May 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/may-2015.php) - After nearly a year of actions, protests and marches that have drawn tens of thousands of Angelenos to the streets, there is some indication that Mayor Eric Garcetti may finally heed calls to “Fix L.A.”
- [April 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/april-2015.php) - A few weeks ago, SEIU 721 awarded its first-ever Labor Legacy Awards to four heroes who have changed the lives of working families around the world, across the country, and right here in Southern California.
- [March 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/march-2015.php) - Earlier this month, SEIU 721 members racked up some key wins in a host of Southern California races, winning in 15 of the 19 contests where we made endorsements. So why does this matter to our members? Just like with external organizing, activism in politics can have a direct impact on workers’ jobs, wages, benefits and working conditions. This is doubly true with public employees.
- [February 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/february-2015.php) - In 2014, many pundits wrote the obituary of the working family. In the national media, they pronounced public workers dead — the victims of countless attacks at the ballot and in the courts, funded by the billionaire Koch brothers, Wall Street and anti-worker lobbying groups. But to paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of our death are greatly exaggerated.
- [January 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/january-2015.php) - In 2014, SEIU 721 members secured some stunning victories, ratifying good new contracts in L.A. County, beating back pension take-aways in Ventura, launching ground-breaking community partnerships, like Fix L.A., and leading the way on big fights, like the Fight for $15, across the region. But I’m not going to sugar-coat it, 2015 is going to be tough. Here are the four pillars of a winning strategy put together by 721’s members.
- [November 2016](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/november-2016.php) - The election on November 8th should have been a triumph for working people and our country. Instead, it was a tragedy. While our Union was winning big here in California, the most divisive political campaign in modern American history propelled a real estate developer turned-reality-television star, with no government experience, into the White House.
- [September 2016](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/september-2016.php) - Sisters and brothers: As you read these words, we’re less than 70 days away from the most important election many of us will see in our lifetimes. At stake this November are the very things we’ve fought so hard to protect: vital services for our communities, good, middle class jobs, and a real voice in the decisions that affect our work, our families, and those we serve.
- [May 2016](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/may-2016.php) - Thousands of SEIU members gathered last month in Detroit, Michigan for our International Union’s 2016 convention to celebrate some of the huge victories of the past four years — like the wave of wins in the Fight for $15 campaign — and develop a plan for the next four.
- [July 2016](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/july-2016.php) - SEIU 721 members know the value of a strong and engaged membership from countless contract campaigns, bargaining sessions, and worksite actions. What’s less clear to some is how getting involved in politics helps workers. But time after time, SEIU 721 members demonstrate how activism in city, county and state government can have a direct positive impact on their communities, their families, and their workplace.
- [June 2016](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/june-2016.php) - After a year-long battle with dug-in county management, San Bernardino County professionals last month won a great new three-year deal with raises, restorations and other key improvements that will begin the process of restoring vital county services hobbled by attrition and short-staffing.
- [April 2016](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/april-2016.php) - Last month, SEIU 721 and its coalition partners in Fix L.A. locked in an agreement with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to fill 5,000 newly created city jobs through a groundbreaking hiring and training program targeted to underrepresented L.A. residents.
- [March 2016](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/march-2016.php) - Workers scored two huge victories this month: The Supreme Court rejected a challenge to their basic union rights and the California Legislature adopted a $15 minimum wage for all workers. As the old saying goes, “sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are good.”
- [February 2017](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/february-2017.php) - Through his shocking anti-immigrant executive orders, dog whistle racism, clandestine cooperation with Russian intelligence and appointment of a slew of unqualified and out-of-touch billionaires to cabinet positions, Donald Trump has accomplished what no other presidential candidate could muster: He created a powerful, diverse new coalition across the political spectrum devoted to resisting him.
- [January 2016 - End of Year 2015](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/january-2016-end-year-2015.php) - In 2015, we demonstrated that with the right planning and fearless execution we can make big things happen for workers. If you’re already a member, take a moment to celebrate our union’s accomplishments. If you’re a new member, welcome to the most dynamic and fastest-growing public employee union in America.
- [June 2017](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/june-2017.php) - We’ve all seen the story time and time again of the kid picked on by the neighborhood bully who, after taking a self-defense class, fights back and wins. With the biggest neighborhood bully of all sitting in the White House, SEIU Local 721 is putting together self-defense classes of our own for workers.
- [April 2017](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/april-2017.php) - President Trump’s first 100 days in office have shocked America. During his campaign, Russian intelligence operatives reportedly manipulated Donald Trump’s lack of knowledge and experience to further their nation’s policy objectives.
- [May 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/may-2013.php) - The President’s Report is delivered each month to the SEIU 721 Executive Board, so it’s fitting that I address my first report of the new term to you, the 41 members of the board. On April 23, we were all sworn in together at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
- [June 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/june-2013.php) - In May I found myself traveling quite a bit. I represent our membership on SEIU’s International Executive Board and also on the SEIU Quality Advisory Committee, which is a network of mostly public sector locals working hard to raise the standards in public healthcare delivery.
- [July 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/july-2013.php) - June was a big month for SEIU 721 members. Our endorsed candidates and measures won by considerable margins in Compton, Riverside, Oxnard and San Fernando. And I just got news of another important victory at the ballot box in Monterey Park, where our members joined with community allies to keep the fire department under local control.
- [August 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/august-2013.php) - On July 1, I went to San Francisco as a representative of SEIU Local 721 to show support for our striking brothers and sisters in Local 1021 who work for the Bay Area Rapid Transit. At a rally, I told the BART workers that their friends in Southern California are standing behind them 100 percent.
- [September 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/september-2013.php) - On Aug. 28, I was honored to speak at an LA City Hall rally celebrating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. As I told the assembled crowd of SEIU 721 members, community leaders, clergy, and others, the good news is that we were able to come together to celebrate this historic occasion.
- [October 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/october-2013.php) - I take a lot of pride in being the President of Local 721. We’re a strong Local with an incredibly active membership. But on October 1, that pride swelled to new levels as I looked out at the massive crowd of LA County workers assembled in front of the County Hall of Administration.
- [November 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/november-2013.php) - Since June, LA County members have been bargaining hard for a fair contract that’s good for them and the community. We hoped to finish the process during two days of intensive bargaining in late October. Unfortunately, negotiations with the County broke down.
- [December 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/december-2013.php) - As of today, LA County members have been working without a contract for more than two months. That’s because the County is refusing to give our members raises and make them effective on October 1, the same day they made them effective for management.
- [April 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/april-2013.php) - More than 50,000 SEIU Local 721 members who work for LA County are gearing up for contract negotiations. These members haven’t had raises in four years—some of them even longer.
- [March 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/march-2013.php) - SEIU 721 members showed their strength and commitment to the City of Los Angeles in last week’s municipal elections. I’m proud to say that all SEIU 721 endorsed candidates won their elections or moved on to run-offs.
- [February 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/february-2013.php) - 2013 is going to be a big year for our members who work in LA County. For the last several years those members have sacrificed in order to keep LA County running. Now those members deserve a raise. We laid the groundwork for a raise last year when members worked hard to pass Prop 30, which provides the state and County with much-needed revenues.
- [January 2013](https://www.seiu721.org/presidents-report/january-2013.php) - I hope you and your family had a happy and healthy holiday season. I was fortunate enough to spend much of the holidays with SEIU 721 members. At this time of year, they can always be counted on to give back to their communities.

This Black History Month, we’ll be spotlighting some of those who have made SEIU Local 721 the leader in the fight for economic and racial justice that it is today.
