August 31, newly elected members of the Sonoma County bargaining

themselves with what to expect in contract negotiations this

clerical, service and tech, non-supervisory maintenance, social
services, nursing, and general supervisory divisions, as well as

Tell San Joaquin County: Our Struggle Is Real!
Rise Up, Speak Out!
Your Bargaining Team needs you! We have told the county how they are having difficulty recruiting and retaining employees. We cannot tell your hardships. Only you can. We need each member to write a paragraph or two (or more if needed) about how the low wages have impacted you and your family. It is essential that you include your name and job title. We need to emphasize to the county that they can only solve this problem; they need to know that you are more than just workers; you are people who have financial responsibilities and are part of the community.
Workers in Contra Costa County form a Coalition and Win Big Together!

Mendocino County workers fill Board of Supervisors meeting to protest continued inaction
As the Board of Supervisors and county administrators point fingers over budget chaos, county workers continue to provide vital services against impossible odds every day. But how much longer can they wait for solutions to the staffing crisis?
Public disputes among members of the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors and the county administration over the reliability and accuracy of the budget have reached a fever pitch. County workers are still waiting for the Board to take action to protect services amidst a worsening staffing problem. With an overall vacancy rate of 27%, it is clear that the county is very short-staffed – but certain crucial classifications are short by as much as 40 to nearly 70%.
It’s Official!
We Have a New Contract
On Tuesday, August 16, the Board of Supervisors unanimously voted
to approve our contract! Because ratification and the
Board’s approval were both completed in
August, raises will be retroactive through August
1st.
