As housing costs continue to rise, Mendocino County members come together to find solutions
California’s affordable housing crisis is a complex problem, and
one that touches us all—residents, employers, businesses, and

been further depleted by natural disasters. Many of our north
coast communities are feeling the effects of this crisis,
including our members in Mendocino County who recently decided to
get together and look for solutions.

San Joaquin County Hospital workers enforce their contract and win over unilateral changes to working conditions and back pay
IT workers at San Joaquin County Hospital are celebrating their victory after winning a grievance that they filed against management for owed back pay and a unilateral change in working conditions.

Why Aren’t We Bargaining Yet!?
