Today at 12PM Pacific Time, SEIU Local 721 offices throughout Southern California will observe a one-minute moment of silence in honor of all the brothers and sisters we lost. We ask SEIU members and sister locals across the nation to join us in a moment of silence, remembering and honoring our union brothers and sisters.
Our unity and participation is the foundation for a strong contract. The actions you took over the past months like Purpling Up and participating in unity breaks made the difference!
We will continue to fight – at our worksites and at the table – for real investment to restore and strengthen County services. United, we will continue to champion fair wages and workplace safety for all County members.
On Monday November 28th, our bargaining team continued to deliver our comprehensive proposals designed to relieve the burden of healthcare premium increases and ensure the vital services our members provide are valued.
SEIU Local 721 County of Ventura members sent a message to the Board of Supervisors, in person: “Give us thanks for a job well done!”
When it comes to protecting vital public services, our County of Ventura members are ready to do Whatever It Takes! Members across the county have come together to lift their collective voice, demanding that the county invest in our community!
The Fight Is Just Beginning
The election on November 8th should have been a triumph for working people and our country. Instead it was a tragedy.
The new contract includes $1,500 in bonuses by July 1, 2017, raises of between 6% -15% during the life of the contract, new paid holidays, and an increase in employer contributions for healthcare over the first year of the contract
SEIU Local 721 County of Ventura members showed up in full force at the Tues., Nov. 15 Board of Supervisors meeting!
Now more than ever we have to unite to fight for our community. We are gearing up the field and our unity and solidarity will provide the foundation to move the county in the right direction.
However, the county’s offer is NOT a commitment to invest in our community!
