SEIU 721 members practice picketing key worksites in massive action across LA County
On February 20, SEIU 721 LA County members demonstrated their unbreakable solidarity by holding massive ULP practice pickets at key worksites. Since contract negotiations began, our union has filed over 25 ULPs, accusing LA County of bad faith bargaining, retaliation, and outsourcing union work.
Practice picketing started at 6 AM at LA General, Harbor-UCLA, and Olive View-UCLA hospitals. At LA General, medical staff protested the county’s plan to expand a $6.2 billion contracting pipeline to private firms. At Olive View, members denounced contract offers that overlook more than 12,000 job vacancies that should be filled by our members. At Harbor-UCLA, frustrated employees challenged the County’s failure to present a fair contract offer.
Additional practice pickets at Telstar/Aerojet and Metro North DCFS reinforced the message: SEIU 721 is united in our fight for a fair contract that respects our members and our work.
