From union card to vaccine card: members secure vaccination appointments thanks to SEIU 1021
Since the beginning of the pandemic, SEIU 1021 members and member
leaders have been leading the charge and advocating for standards
and protections that frontline essential workers deserve as they
keep our communities running. As a public-sector union, our

announcements of vaccination availability began to come down the
pipeline, members went to work monitoring and sharing
information as far and wide as possible.
As housing costs continue to rise, Mendocino County members come together to find solutions
California’s affordable housing crisis is a complex problem, and
one that touches us all—residents, employers, businesses, and

including our members in Mendocino County who recently decided to
get together and look for solutions.

leadership across Marin met to network, talk strategies for
bargaining, and gain insight into what our different issues and
concerns look like.
