SEIU 1021 Dixon Unified Chapter Strike Assessment
To get the contract we need to retain and recruit staff at Dixon Unified, we are going to have to take collective action to show we are UNITED and ready to FIGHT! It will take ALL OF US!
Despite our bargaining team’s hard work over 11 months of
negotiations, the Dixon Unified School District has not settled a
fair contract with their classified employees. Despite giving
huge raises to administrators, the District is only offering a 3%
raise for classified staff (in addition to the 5% that was given
in June of 2022). Dixon USD has $2.73 million above the reserves
required by the State of California, but they are refusing to
give us a fair contract.
Responses due by April 14, 2023.

To Win a Fair Contract, We Have To Act NOW

We’ve made progress and signed some Tentative Agreements (TAs) that will improve working conditions across the county, but management is still not making acceptable offers on our most important issues.
