Published on May 11th 2012

San Francisco city-wide workers have ratified a new two year, no concessions contract with management. Votes were counted Monday with 98 percent of members approving the contract.

“It was amazing to see hundreds of my fellow union members come together in unity to fight back the proposed concessions—and we did it,” said T. George Weeks, a child welfare worker and city-wide bargaining team member.

The tentative agreement, which must be approved by Mayor Ed Lee and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors includes:

No wage concessions
No concessions on healthcare premiums
A three percent raise effective in 2014
Temporary workers, following years of unfair treatment, will have priority for permanent jobs.

Dear SEIU 1021 SF Citywide Members,

Our contract fight had two main goals that were spoken loudly from all meetings & member surveys-- NO economic concessions and NO increases in health care costs to our families.

Because of strong member support at actions & rallies, we got power at the bargaining table and we reached a tentative agreement.

Member informational meetings and voting are happening now. Get informed and bring your questions to an informational meeting near you.

We, your elected Bargaining Team recommend a 'YES' vote on the tentative agreement!

Thank you for all your support out in the streets of San Francisco.

In Unity,

SEIU 1021 SF CItywide Bargaining Team
