Join the Contract Action Team
It’s time to protect and improve our contract with the City.
We have elected a Bargaining Team to represent us in negotiations with City management, but strong contracts are won at every work site. Our ability to win depends on our willingness to act.
You can help us stand up and win by joining the Contract Action Team (CAT). CAT members from each department, at every work site, will:
Stand Up for a Good Contract
Organize to Win
Your Contract Action Team Needs YOU!
Strong contracts are won by workers sticking together at every job site, not just at the bargaining table. Step up and get involved: email Julio.Corral@seiu1021.org.
Make a Statement: Show that SEIU 1021 members stand united and that we won’t sit down until we get a good contract.
Purple Up Every Friday
When we stand together, we win!
