San Joaquin County Public Works wins new boots
1021 Workers at the San Joaquin County Public Works Chapter know that a good pair of boots makes or breaks the job. The goal of the Department of Public Works is to provide quality service to the community and to enhance the public’s quality of life by protecting their investment in the County’s. As part of the bargaining process, the Public Works Chapter has continually fought for the highest-quality boots possible. Our members work in underground facilities, on roadways, across bridges, and in waste facilities.
Fast-food workers celebrate as AB 257, the FAST Recovery Act, passes the State Assembly
In a huge victory for fast-food workers, the California State Assembly today passed the Fast Food Accountability and Standards (FAST) Recovery Act, AB 257.

However, you must take action soon: the new policy states that you must apply before October 31, 2022.

OUSD Chapter Bargaining Update: Management Refuses to Bargain as We Continue to Fight for COVID Safety Measures and Living Wages
Your bargaining team met again yesterday, Wednesday, Jan. 26, and OUSD management refused to bargain.
Our team is disappointed and feels this is disrespectful to the process and to our members when we have such immediate needs (living wages and COVID safety concerns) that must be addressed.
They dismissed our offer and failed to provide a counter proposal. We are encouraged by our members to keep pressing forward.
