City of Richmond, Part-Time Chapter
We have reached a tentative agreement with the City of Richmond for the part-time contract. Our elected Bargaining Team recommends a YES vote.
Here are some contract highlights:
1021 Members Stick Together and Notch Big Wins Across the East Bay
In Richmond and Oakland, 1021 members have seen the power of unity pay off. Oakland’s Head Start program, which offers free early childhood education and family services to low-income residents, was scheduled to take big cuts, including closing three locations. Members and community partners spoke out against these cuts, and Oakland’s City Council voted to allocate money to keep the Franklin, Arroyo Viejo, and Tassafaronga sites open, without cuts or layoffs.
TA Approved by the City of Richmond Chapter Membership
On August 1 and 2, the City Of Richmond Workers’ bargaining team ran a ratification vote. The ballots were counted last night Thursday, September 2. The membership overwhelmingly voted to ratify the new Union contract.

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.
Show Up and Show What Unity Looks Like
CITY OF RICHMOND CHAPTER MEETING
& BARGAINING KICK-OFF
THURSDAY, MAY 13
NOON – 1:30 P.M.
450 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA
MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIRED
Just hours after our last update, the City pulled out of the fact-finding process and withdrew their cruel, concessionary proposal for furlough days and healthcare contributions for our members.
Now we will sit down and bargain a strong contact for our members.
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.
