Bargaining Update for June 22, 2021
Dear Co-Workers:
We are actively negotiating on your behalf as your elected Bargaining Team. We held a very telling session with the City last week.
Currently, we have reached 6 tentative agreements (these will be voted on by all full members in order to become final) with the City. There have been more than 30 proposals shared at the table.
SEIU 1021 Members in the City of Oakland Speak Up for a Budget That Works for All Oaklanders
As Oakland’s City Council continues to work towards passing a balanced budget, SEIU 1021 members and other members of the community keep the pressure on. The City’s Refund Coalition, a group that includes SEIU 1021 and other labor organizations along with many community groups, has been tireless in its advocacy for a budget that prioritizes the things Oaklanders really care about: investing in housing as a human right; public safety and public services; protections for frontline workers; and arts and culture funding.
It’s TIME!
For a Strong Contract, We Need Unity and Full Participation
Your elected bargaining team is united and fighting for every member of your union. But we can’t do it without you!
We need rank and file members to call in to City Council meetings on Tuesday nights to share their stories. As a union, our strength comes from our numbers, and we need to show Council and the Mayor that our numbers are strong and our members—not just our Bargaining Team—are united.
The Votes Are In!
You Voted to Accept the Tentative Agreement!
After three days of voting, including an online option, we tallied more than 97% votes to accept our tentative agreement with the City.
We have notified the City of our decision, and the 3% COLA will take effect the first full pay period after July 1, 2021.
Thanks to all who helped us win this strong new contract, and those who helped us bring the vote to worksites across the city.
City of Oakland Workers Hit the Streets to Talk to Their Neighbors and Make a Difference
On Saturday, June 6, SEIU 1021 members joined community members in the Refund Oakland coalition to knock on doors and talk to their neighbors about a city budget that invests in our residents, our working families, and our frontline workers. This partnership between union members and community members has driven a change at City Hall in Oakland, as a newly elected City Council has pushed back against Mayor Libby Schaaf’s austerity budgets.
