Help make our 2022 SEIU 1021 toy drive a success for Bay Area families
Join SEIU 1021, IFPTE Local 21, and nonprofit community partners
around Northern California in filling up a school bus (gracefully
loaned from Hayward Unified School District) with thousands of
toys for children in underserved communities. In the past five
years alone, the SEIU 1021 Toy Drive has successfully collected
and distributed more than 10,000 toys. Due to the effects of the
pandemic and inflation, we anticipate this year’s requests for
toys will be higher than ever, so please contribute if you’re
able.

California Law Allows You to Take Up to Two Hours Off to Vote Without Losing Pay
POLLS ARE OPEN FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 8:00 P.M. EACH ELECTION DAY
(Tuesday, November 8)
If you are scheduled to be at work during that time and you do not have sufficient time outside of working hours to vote at a statewide election, California law allows you to take up to two hours off to vote, without losing any pay.
You may take as much time as you need to vote, but only two hours of that time will be paid.
Vote to choose your boss this November!
Most SEIU 1021 members are in the public sector, working for cities, counties, special districts, schools, courts, and other public entities. Since these entities are overseen by elected officials, it’s our job as union members to find and support officials who will support us, our work, and our priorities across Northern California. In Oakland, one such official is City Councilmember Nikki Fortunato Bas, who is running for re-election now. SEIU Local 1021 has endorsed her, and Felipe Cuevas, the City of Oakland chapter’s president, had this to say about her.
We Need YOUR Help!
To Fix the Way Discipline Works for Civilians in the Police Department
Currently, SEIU 1021 civilian, non-sworn members who work in OPD are subject to discipline through the Internal Affairs department.
This is wasteful and often unfair. Internal Affairs should be investigating sworn officers, not our members.
The City has agreed to work with us to reform and revise the Civilian Disciplinary Process: and we need your help to do it!
We’re looking for some volunteers to help us craft our proposals before we meet with the City. If you’re interested, or if you have questions, please ask:

SEIU 1021 Shows Up to Support Sheng Thao for Oakland Mayor
Oakland is at a political crossroads, with long-time mayor Libby Schaaf not eligible to run again after serving two terms, and three City Council seats up for election in Districts 2, 4 and 6. District 4’s current representative Sheng Thao is running for Mayor, and she kicked off her campaign on Saturday with plenty of support from SEIU 1021.
City of Oakland members ratify strong tentative agreement with 14% COLA over 3 years
Congratulations to SEIU 1021 members at City of Oakland, who voted by almost 97 percent last week to ratify their tentative agreement, which will provide substantial improvements at a time when city workers need them most.
Our Members Have Voted YES
To Ratify Our Tentative Agreement with the City!
The votes were 96.7% yes. City Council will now vote to accept the contract at two sessions, as is required by law. Chapter president Felipe Cuevas said, “This contract is a big win for our members, who have showed up and sacrificed for their community throughout the pandemic. To win this contract this early in the process is a testament to the hard work our members have done at the bargaining table, in their worksites, and in the community, helping elect pro-worker candidates to City Council.”
We Have a Tentative Agreement With the City!
The 3-year contract includes COLAs of 14%. UPDATED TO INCLUDE FULL TA PACKET
To ensure our members get what they deserve as fast as possible, we will be holding our vote to ratify the new contract ASAP.
Voting will take place via email Monday, July 18 - Wednesday, July 20, and in person on Thursday, July 21:
- 7101 Edgewater: 7 a.m. – 9 a.m.
- 5050 Coliseum Way: 7 a.m. – 9 a.m.
- 250 Frank Ogawa Plaza: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
