Alameda County Workers Say: It’s Time to Staff Up!

On Tuesday, November 1, more than a hundred Alameda County members came out to rally in front of the Board of Supervisors. We let them know that we have a staffing crisis in Alameda County that needs to be solved now.

The day before that, the elected bargaining team passed our final proposals. They include common-sense solutions for improving recruitment and retention, fair wage increases to keep our members ahead of the 8.6% increase in the consumer price index the County itself reported, and much more.

Mendocino County workers plead with Board of Supervisors and CEO to prioritize public services
The County CEO and Board continue to claim ignorance about the budget as services and workers suffer

Rain and cold can’t stop Mendocino County workers from taking a stand for public services.

With each week that goes by, more Mendocino County employees resign to work for neighboring counties or for other organizations. In Family and Children’s Services, the vacancy rate is already over 40 percent and climbing, with at least six more employees jumping ship in October alone. And that is not just inconvenient for the staff who remain: It’s dangerous and could even cost lives.

Fight for fast-food justice continues post-FAST Recovery Act passage

After fast-food workers and SEIU members across California rose up in the fight for dignity and respect on the job, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 257, the Fast Food Accountability and Standards Recovery Act or FAST Recovery Act, into law. AB 257 protects and empowers California’s five-hundred-fifty thousand fast-food workers, the vast majority being Black and Latino – with a seat at the table to help set minimum industry standards around wages, safety and training.

Don’t Forget to Request Time Off to Vote!
California Law Allows You to Take Up to Two Hours Off to Vote Without Losing Pay

POLLS ARE OPEN FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 8:00 P.M. EACH ELECTION DAY  If you are scheduled to be at work during that time and you do not have sufficient time outside of working hours to vote at a statewide election, California law allows you to take up to two hours off to vote, without losing any pay. You may take as much time as you need to vote, but only two hours of that time will be paid. Your time off for voting can be only at the beginning or end of your regular work shift, whichever allows the most free time for voting and the least time off from your regular working shift, unless you make another arrangement with your employer. If three working days before the election you think you will need time off to vote, you must notify your employer at least two working days prior to the election.
