Without women in labor, we would not have Women’s History Month or International Women’s Day

SEIU 1021 members are holding big fast food corporations accountable for worker health and safety

As every union member knows, it can take a lot of effort to hold an employer accountable for the health and safety of its workers. That’s why, as part of the Fight for 15 and a Union coalition, SEIU 1021 members are pushing hard for lawmakers to pass AB 1228, a bill that would make large fast food corporations like McDonald’s liable for their California franchisees’ health and safety violations.

SEIU 1021 leaders march from Lake Merritt Amphitheater to 1221 Oak St. on February 13 with a letter demanding the Board of Supervisors Staff Up Alameda County.

After our massive rally on Lincoln’s Birthday, the County has improved their proposals on a number of issues, including wages, bilingual pay, and shift differentials.
