SEIU 1021 City of Oakland Chapter Update
Your union is meeting regularly with City administration to keep
our members and our community safe and healthy. Today, we met
with the City to determine which workers will be identified as
essential vs. non-essential, and we will be meeting with them
again tomorrow.
SEIU 1021 City of Oakland Chapter Elections Paused
Due to the shutdown over the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Oakland Chapter elections will be suspended until further notice.
Once the City opens for regularly scheduled business, we will proceed with the chapter elections as planned, with a new timeline.
All nominations that were received will still be valid when we reconvene.
Thank you for understanding during this time where safety is our number-one goal.

14th & Broadway -- Purple Up and Join SEIU 1021 and IFPTE Local 21 As We Speak Out for a Fair Contract
City workers love Oakland. But many city workers are doing the jobs of two or three people because the City Administration refuses to solve the understaffing crisis. There are more than 600 unfilled vacancies across the city, and it’s stretching us thin and depriving Oakland’s residents of the services they deserve.
We’re dedicated, but enough is enough. Join us as we rally to improve public services and build an Oakland for everyone.
RSVP to the MRC 1-877-687-1021 and we will see you there!

Current Tentative Agreements
To Learn More and to Get Involved, Come to the General Membership Meeting: Wed., July 31, 5 p.m., 100 Oak St.
After months of bargaining, the City has still never increased their economic offer that would make City workers poorer and put them further behind the region’s increasing cost of living, and they continue to try to roll back the internal hiring processes established in section 14.7 of our contract. Your elected Bargaining Team is continuing to meet with the City and a mediator, and have bargaining sessions scheduled in July and August.
Tell the City to Come Back to the Table
COME TO CITY COUNCIL’S CLOSED SESSION: TUESDAY, JULY 16 1:30 P.M., at CITY HALL
Two weeks ago, the City’s representatives walked away from the bargaining table, claiming negotiations were at an impasse. This claim was a lie: we were hard at work, passing proposals and counterproposals, so we immediately filed an unfair labor practice charge against them.
On Monday, City Council passed a budget. The budget didn’t address our issues adequately, and on Tuesday, our members stormed City Hall with Local 21 and delivered a message to City Administrator Sabrina Landreth: get your representatives back to the table, and tell them to bargain in good faith.
Come to the General Membership Meeting Next Wednesday, June 26, starting at 5 p.m. at 100 Oak St.
Wednesday, June 26: 5 p.m. Dinner, 5:30 p.m. Meeting
