At our most recent meeting, the City of Oakland management countered our wage proposal with 3-3-3, which doesn’t even keep up with the rising cost of living. Our proposal on wages would keep up with the cost of living and help workers stay in the Bay Area.

Management rejected our proposal to increase the annual dental cap even though it hasn’t increased since 2002.

While doing nothing to combat favoritism in hiring, management maintains its proposals to gut civil service rules and merit hiring.

We proposed increased safety measures to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. Management responded with a monthly committee that doesn’t even meet as much as we are already meeting with the City on COVID issues.

Our elected Bargaining Team is working to negotiate a strong new contract that will improve our wages, benefits, and working conditions, and they need your help!

A Chapter Action Team (or CAT) helps our union win by:

• Keeping coworkers and supporters informed, involved, and inspired by updating them in person and by distributing bargaining updates, action alerts, and meeting notices
• Leading actions that show City management our unity and strength in numbers: examples of actions include petitions, informational pickets, and purpling up with stickers, t-shirts, or buttons
