More than 2,000 City union members and labor supporters rallied at San Francisco City Hall last Wednesday, June 4, to protest Mayor Daniel Lurie’s budget, which would lay off over 100 union members and eliminate well over 1,000 vacant positions.

“The real deficit is being driven by rich corporations who benefit from our work,” explained SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford to the crowd who lined the front steps.

Union power takes SFMTA crossing guard cuts off the table
After SFMTA proposed eliminating crossing guards for budget savings, the union sprang into action — and won.
Last Tuesday, February 18, SFMTA proposed eliminating school crossing guards in San Francisco as a cost-saving measure at their board meeting. But by the time they introduced the proposal, the chambers were packed with outraged parents, crossing guards, and even students who had showed up to oppose the measure.
Wednesday, February 19, SFMTA directors notified SEIU 1021 that eliminating the school crossing guard program was off the table.
