San Francisco City & County workers take their fight against short-staffing to a whole new level
The City and County of San Francisco has a staffing crisis. Decades of cutbacks have contributed to this crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic has made things worse than ever. Research indicates that the city has over 3,800 unfilled jobs, which forces members to do more with less and has potential impacts on service delivery for residents. Now, as SEIU 1021 members head to the bargaining table this year and the city continues to drag its heels on adequately staffing services, members are looking to turn up the heat on management.

STRIKE OVER! We Have Reached a Tentative Agreement!
When We Fight, We Win. WE WON OUR STRIKE.
From the first day of our strike with SCTA on Wednesday, March
23, our mantra has been, “When we fight, we win. When we fight,
students win.” You kept on showing up to the picket lines and our
rallies day after day. You kept on sharing your stories, and
the community kept on supporting us and demanding the
superintendent and school board do their
jobs. We are so happy to announce that our
strike is over.
STRIKE UPDATE: We’re Getting Close, and It’s Because of You!
Thanks to You, We Are Winning
Once again, you showed up and spoke out.
You have kept on showing up to the picket lines morning
after morning, even though you were exhausted and worried about
how you were going to make rent. You came to the rally and made
your voices heard, on stage, in the crowd, on the sidewalks, on
social media, and to reporters and TV cameras. You shared your
stories: the love and heart you put into the work you do. How
hard it is to do your job–and how you wouldn’t want to do
anything else–you just want basic dignity and respect at
work.
