Hayward City Workers Donate 280 Toys to Children in Low-Income Families

HAYWARD, CA — City Workers who have lost 17% of their incomes due to imposition earlier this year donated 280 toys at Hayward’s City Council meeting Tuesday night — one toy on behalf of each SEIU 1021 member that works for the city.

The toys are being donated in the name of Doris Rodriquez, a former Hayward City Councilmember, who passed away this week.

“Doris worked tirelessly on behalf of working families and improving the lives of children of Hayward,” said Gil Hesia, President of SEIU Local 1021’s Maintenance Chapter for Hayward.

SEIU 1021 is the Only Union Fighting for Fremont Employees

Clarification is needed for a recent “vote” to disaffiliate last week, led by non-elected member Craig D. Conwright.
