SEIU 1021 City of Richmond Emergency Chapter Meeting
JOIN US!
Our contract expires on June 30. The City’s plan for us is: extensive furloughs and expensive employee contributions to medical benefits, while they still sit on seventeen million dollars of unspent reserves. This is an all-hands-on-deck situation and we need everybody to step up and get involved.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THE CITY TO MAKE US AN OFFER?
Richmond Bargaining Update: June 24, 2020
Our contract expires on June 30, and our elected Bargaining Team has met with the City’s representatives twice, but they still have not made us an offer!
With less than a week before City Council must by law pass a balanced budget, we have yet to receive any written proposal from the City of Richmond’s negotiating team.
It’s not just us, either: the City has not even met with our labor allies in IFPTE Local 21!
SEIU 1021 marches in solidarity with the ILWU on Juneteenth
On Juneteenth, over 38,000 union dockyard workers shut down ports across the Pacific Coast ports in protest of the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others. SEIU 1021 members were proud to participate in one the largest actions seen so far in solidarity with the nationwide protests against police brutality.
When We Fight, We Win!
When We Stand with the Community, They Stand with Us
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Oakland administration has tried to attack our union. Before coming to the bargaining table, they cut the hours of our ‘temporary, part-time’ members and threatened mass layoffs of permanent workers. Only through a long campaign were we able to beat back the Mayor’s attack and force her to take her further concessions off the table.
Mayor Schaaf Has Withdrawn Her Proposed Cuts and Concessions!
No Layoffs. No Furloughs. No Postponed COLAs or Step Increases.
At a meeting including other unions in the city, including Local 21, IBEW Local 1245, IAFF Local 55, and CMEA, the Mayor confirmed today that the proposed further cuts to and concessions from our members have been withdrawn.
This means:
Emergency Chapter Meeting
Monday, June 22, 6 p.m. Zoom Call
The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic is wrecking the City’s budget. They said they had a deficit of $29 million, and they proposed to fix that problem the same way they always do: cutting services to the public and laying us off. According to the Mayor, “everything is on the table,” which means we’re on the chopping block.
Working in partnership with other unions, including Local 21, the police, and the firefighters, we closed their budget gap from $29 million to under $6 million, completely without service cuts, furloughs, or layoffs.
How does Oakland Public Library spending compare to Oakland Police Department?
