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.
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.”

On Labor Day hundreds of SEIU 721 members, families and community allies, marched in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara to celebrate all that is good and strong about being in a union. Other groups held picnics and rallies in celebration of the work we have achieved, and the challenges we have before us.
Social workers help the most vulnerable people in our community. Each situation is challenging and life changing for those in need.

SEIU 721 is proud to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act, championed by the Civil Rights movement and ultimately made possible by everyday individuals who stood up and marched to demand justice, has played a tremendous role in giving disenfranchised communities a voice at the ballot box.
