City of San Rafael member Julie Poirier shares how Marin County members plan to level up their approach to bargaining by coordinating strategies across different workplaces and employers
“When SEIU 1021 members around Marin County realized how many of
our contracts were set to expire this year, it was clear that we
needed a plan to coordinate. That’s why on March 25, SEIU Chapter
leadership across Marin met to network, talk strategies for
bargaining, and gain insight into what our different issues and
concerns look like.
Why Aren’t We Bargaining Yet!?
Plain and simple: because management refuses to withdraw its old concessionary proposal, a proposal that requires furlough days and healthcare contributions from our members. The City has no financial need for concessions.
After the fact-finding sessions, the City agreed to write a revised bargaining proposal. Four months have passed, but the City has not yet provided a new proposal.

Chapter elections are happening around San Francisco this year—make your voice heard!

Tenderloin Housing Clinic members put pressure on management to win hazard pay
Last year, management at the Tenderloin Housing Clinic shamefully cut off hazard pay, even as our members continued to serve clients amidst the pandemic. Even worse, they lied by telling us that they didn’t have the financial flexibility to continue the practice. Members got creative, though, and began brainstorming the next steps.
Members at the Fine Arts Museums secure a new contract with stability and layoff protections
Nonprofit members at the Fine Arts Museums knew that bargaining during this pandemic would be a challenge. “The negotiating team at the Fine Arts Museums worked in less-than-normal circumstances this year to hold listening sessions with our membership, to strategize amongst ourselves, and to meet with management,” said Francisco Rosas, a museum worker and bargaining team member.
Budget negotiations are coming up. Here’s what SEIU 1021 members need to know
The incredible work we did last year to help pass Prop F and other revenue measures have paid off. The Controller’s Office released its budget outlook memo and there will be no wage delays for City and County of San Francisco workers in 2021.
This means workers will receive the .5% on June 30, 2021 and a 3% increase effective July 1, 2021. Remember, management does not give us these raises out of the goodness of their hearts. The only reason we are receiving them is because we fought during our last round of negotiations to guarantee these increases.
