Has COVID-19 Cost You Your Leave?
Tell Us Your Story!
SEIU 1021 members in the City of Oakland have shown up to work and shown out for the community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us have been forced to use our leave during the pandemic for many reasons: when working conditions were unsafe, or when our families needed us at home, or other reasons.
If you have lost leave during the pandemic, please tell your story below: your information will be kept strictly private and never shared without your permission. We are asking for this information so we can fight for better leave options from the City.

Our Joint Strike with SCTA Starts Tomorrow, Wednesday 3/23. Here’s What You Need to Know.
Our strike with our union sisters and brothers of Sacramento City
Teachers Association starts tomorrow morning.
While a strike is always a last resort, SCUSD management’s
refusal to negotiate in good faith a contract that will address
the staffing crisis in our district by retaining and recruiting
employees has left us no other choice.
Advice to educators, staff, and parents: Prepare for a strike.
“The district’s actions make it look inevitable.”

Our Joint Strike with SCTA Is Set to Begin Next Wednesday, March 23
Big thanks to the hundreds of you who came out to our rally with
our union sisters and brothers from SCTA at the school board
yesterday. Between our two unions and a fantastic outpouring of
support from parents, community members, and other Sacramento
area union members, we had roughly 2,500 people in attendance.
Wow! What a show of force! We are so strong
together. Check
out photos from the rally on Facebook here!
We Ratified Our Tentative Agreement UNANIMOUSLY!
Big thanks to everyone who voted to ratify our tentative agreement! We are excited to report back that the TA was ratified unanimously. That’s right–you voted by 100% to ratify!
That means that once the OUSD Board of Education and Alameda County Office of Education approve the TA in the coming weeks, this will become our new contract.
TOMORROW: Hundreds of SCUSD Educators and School Staff Joined by Parents and Community Supporters to Rally for Adequate Staffing, Support for Students and Fair Contracts
Every day 3,000 SCUSD students go without a substitute teacher and nearly 600 students go without any instruction due to a lack of independent study instructors.
**MEDIA ADVISORY FOR THURS. 3/17**

Sacramento City Unified Schools Members Vote by 97% to Authorize Strike
No strike date has been set yet, but if SCUSD management continues to violate labor law, classified staff and educators will go on strike
Last week, Sacramento City Unified School District classified staff and educators voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. 97% of classified staff, who are represented by SEIU 1021, and 95% of certificated educators, who are represented by the California Teachers Association, voted yes. As a result, the SCUSD bargaining team now has the green light to call a strike if SCUSD management continues to negotiate in bad faith on key issues related to staffing, the quality of instruction, and health and safety protocols.
