Sonoma County Workers Win Hazard Pay, Increase in Living Wage Ordinance
December was an exciting month for Sonoma County workers, who
scored two big wins from the Board of Supervisors. Thanks to
stellar organizing led by chapter president Jana Blunt, members
won hazard pay for the more than 4,000 County workers (with the
exception of elected officials) in recognition of their dedicated
service and sacrifice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Members also
secured an increase in the county’s living wage ordinance to
$16.75 an hour that will boost the take-home pay of the
lowest-paid County employees.
We Won Additional Compensation for Designated Shifts!
The Omicron surge is hitting us all hard. To improve patient care, address short staffing issues, and enhance safety, we negotiated with AHS management to create a new differential for certain shifts.

The payment will be included on your February 18, 2022 paycheck.
