SEIU 721 President and Executive Director David Green issued the following statement regarding the election of the Trump/Vance ticket: “We at SEIU 721 are profoundly disappointed to witness the return of Donald Trump to the highest office in the land. His first term as President was, without question or exaggeration, one of the most divisive and destructive in the history of our nation – and we do not look forward to a return to those dark times. Nevertheless, despite this unfortunate outcome, we remain undaunted and undeterred. Our siblings in the Labor Movement, and among progressive causes generally, have stood up to Trump before and we will do it again. His raunchy rhetoric and bombastic threats do not intimidate us one bit.”
SEIU 721 has put on hold our ULP strike previously scheduled for Thurs., Oct. 10 now that LA County has come back to the bargaining table to officially resume contract negotiations with our union. This is exactly what we hoped to achieve when more than 1,200 of our LA County members rallied directly outside the Hall of Administration on Tues., Sept. 24.
