After several days of round-the clock bargaining, most SEIU 721 bargaining committees have reached tentative agreements with L.A. County.
LA County bargaining teams engaged in intense negotiations on Wednesday and Thursday of last week with Los Angeles County; although we made great strides in the right direction we still have a last push this week.
On Tuesday hundreds of LA County members descended on the Hall of Administration to demand a fair contract that respects our work.
WE DID IT! –
We’re FIXing LA
LA City workers vote to ratify a winning contract! With a 94% YES vote SEIU 721 members overwhelmingly voted for a contract that protects good middle-class jobs and restores vital community services.
Great news! MOU 18 is recommending a YES Vote. Deadline for voting has been extended until MONDAY SEPTEMBER 28th for MOU 18 only.
The elected bargaining team members demanded clarity and accuracy on the intent of the agreement reflected in the summary. After hours of discussion and meetings with the Los Angeles City CAO all outstanding issues have been resolved and mitigated. Your bargaining team is now supporting the tentative agreement with City of L.A. and urging a yes vote.
In support of our fellow nurse, Miss Colorado, we nurses wear more than a stethoscope. We wear the concerns, welfare and well-being of our patients, community and profession. As LA county nurses, we are patients’ advocates; we take care of our vulnerable populations, uninsured and underinsured, underserved and private sector patients.
In our “VIEW” we provide vital services to our clients and to the community and are certainly not “just a nurse.”

This year SEIU 721 City of Riverside members wanted to do something different to commemorate Labor Day, so they reached out to City management with the idea to show department heads, City Council members and executive staff exactly how members provide vital services everyday.
