“Who makes Mills? We make Mills!” The protest chants echoed throughout the Oakland, California private women’s liberal arts college. The militancy of the Mills College Staff Union, which represents four hundred staff and non-tenured faculty, was on full display.

California College of the Arts Staff and Faculty Continue to Fight for a Fair Contract, as the National Labor Relations Board Issues an Unfair Labor Practice Complaint
Since California College of the Art (CCA) staff formed their union with SEIU Local 1021 two years ago, they have been working hard to secure a fair contract with a living wage and job security.

“History was made today”: A Historic Coalition Helps Working People in Hayward Speak Up for a Fair Contract and Services for the Whole Community
Hayward City workers have had enough of City leaders slow-playing contract negotiations and refusing to invest in services for the community, and are fighting back–together.

City Vaccine Policy Negotiations Update
The City has recently announced that they intend to implement a
new COVID-19 vaccine policy, with City workers required to submit
their vaccination status and exemptions available for religious
and medical reasons. This policy is a change in our working
conditions, so the City is required to meet and confer with us
over the changes.
We have met three times so far with the City, and have more
meetings on the schedule. There are still open issues and we are
still meeting, but we wanted to make sure everyone was updated on
what’s going on.
So far:
