A MESSAGE FROM CITY OF OAKLAND CHAPTER PRESIDENT FELIPE CUEVAS
May 1, 2020
Good afternoon, SEIU 1021 City of Oakland members,
I want to provide an update on various items about the City’s
response to the COVID-19 pandemic and Union’s involvement.
So far, the city has been doing close to the minimum and the
union has advocated for more family-friendly and worker-friendly
policies as well as addressing PPE and safety concerns. We have
won quite a lot from the City so far, but there are more battles
ahead.

NO CUTS DURING COVID
Starting at 5, come to the parking lot next to the Lucky Supermarket (207 E 18th St, Oakland) and we will put a poster on your car for visibility! (Or put a purple t-shirt on your back right window.) Then we will circle the lake clockwise (lake on your right) to show that we’re united in opposition to the current layoffs of our temporary, part-time co-workers and the Mayor’s threatened further cuts.
We will be observing all social distancing protocols for this action.

We're Fighting Back Against the City
As some of you know, the City has been sending “release” notices to some of our temporary part-time (TPT) co-workers. These notices are illegal:

After successfully making their case to the Personnel Board, these 17 workers became the newest members of the Berkeley Community Service Chapter of SEIU 1021.
