When We Mobilize Around Our Values, We Win
A reflection from SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford on the November 2022 Midterm Elections
SEIU Local 1021 scored numerous victories large and small in the 2022 midterm elections.

Alameda County Workers Say: It’s Time to Staff Up!
On Tuesday, November 1, more than a hundred Alameda County members came out to rally in front of the Board of Supervisors. We let them know that we have a staffing crisis in Alameda County that needs to be solved now.

And that is not just inconvenient for the staff who remain: It’s dangerous and could even cost lives.

Fight for fast-food justice continues post-FAST Recovery Act passage
After fast-food workers and SEIU members across California rose up in the fight for dignity and respect on the job, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 257, the Fast Food Accountability and Standards Recovery Act or FAST Recovery Act, into law. AB 257 protects and empowers California’s five-hundred-fifty thousand fast-food workers, the vast majority being Black and Latino – with a seat at the table to help set minimum industry standards around wages, safety and training.

Months of claiming ignorance about the budget and pointing fingers while the County’s staffing crisis has spiraled out of control prove incompetence, malfeasance, or neglect – and county residents deserve to know where their tax dollars are going.
