Tenderloin Housing Clinic members are on a roll and just won a huge retro pay agreement
Last month, we shared how members at the Tenderloin Housing Clinic (THC) marched on their bosses to secure future hazard pay of $5 an hour as they continue to directly serve clients amidst the pandemic.
At that time, although they were able to press management into bringing back the hazard pay moving forward, whether or not workers would receive retroactive pay for the time management cut the additional pay was still an open question. Management had said they could not provide retro pay, but THC members weren’t going to give up.
Nonprofit workers across SF speak up for fair wages and funding
On April 28, dozens of workers from HR360, Larkin Street Youth Services, Tenderloin Housing Clinic, Baker Places, and other nonprofits around San Francisco spoke out at a Budget Committee hearing. We called for increased nonprofit funding and the creation of a framework for pay parity between nonprofit workers and SEIU 1021 members in the public sector. Achieving parity in pay between private and public sector workers doing similar work would remove the City’s financial incentive to privatize more of this work.
