Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) management plans to close several schools, blaming a combination of lower enrollment, expensive repairs needed to facilities, and a budget shortfall. They appear poised to close up to eight schools–a huge disruption to school cultures, social communities, and education programs after a year and a half of turmoil from the pandemic.

STRIKE: Fast-food workers ask, “Which side are you on?”

November 15, 2021: Last week, over 600 fast-food workers across California walked off the job, striking because of health violations, workplace violence, and wage theft, demanding politicians answer the question, “Which side are you on?” If the answer is the workers, they will support the passage of AB 257, the FAST Recovery Act–anything less means supporting abusive fast-food corporations like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Jack in the Box.

SEIU 1021 Members Lead the Way Toward a Safer Oakland

GET MACRO RIGHT social media graphic calling for fair wages, community oversight, and enough funding to operate 24 / 7.

On October 19, Oakland’s City Council unanimously voted to move forward with establishing a trailblazing program called MACRO: Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland. MACRO will expand the city’s public safety programs by adding a non-police response option for non-violent emergencies. The program will be staffed by civilians with the medical and mental health training to handle these non-violent emergencies. The people doing that work will be SEIU 1021 members, with living-wage compensation packages that will be comparable to other first responders in Oakland.
