SEIU 1021 members showed up in force at the Richmond City Council meeting on July 11th to advocate passing a $15 minimum wage ordinance. After hearing from our members and other individuals who testified, the Richmond City Council unanimously supported an ordinance to increase the city’s minimum wage.

Excellent advocacy work was done in Sacramento by our members as well as SEIU 521, 721 and 221 to move our bill limiting contracting out of public services out of the Senate Governance and Finance Committee.

Members have been working in Sacramento to pass this bill to hold counties and private contractors accountable to the public.
