Solano Courts workers vote overwhelmingly to ratify a new contract
Superior Court of Solano County workers have voted to ratify
their most recent agreement, after securing a number of
significant victories for members at the Court.
Included in the new contract are a 6% raise after ratification,
followed by a 3% raise in November of 2022. Members also won
vacation cash out language, new pay differentials for court
reporters that could go as high as 10% depending on the workers’
certification status, and more.

City of Hayward Workers Form a Bold Citywide Coalition and Win a Strong Contract for SEIU 1021 Members and Many Others
January 10, 2022: City of Hayward workers came into their latest contract campaign knowing things had to change. The City had allowed some workers to fall behind. In years past, management had even imposed onerous, unfair contract terms on its workforce—a move which was later reversed by a Public Employment Relations Board judge, but which showed clearly their lack of respect for and understanding of the City’s workers.

URGENT Bargaining Update: As COVID Surges, OUSD Management Continues to Refuse to Negotiate on Safety
With COVID surging once again in our schools and community, you
would think that OUSD management would finally be ready to talk
seriously about safety. Yet they continue to put the health and
lives of OUSD employees, students, and our families on the line
by refusing to bargain on COVID safety.
In fact, despite the bargaining team hustling tirelessly for six
months to get a fair contract, there has been precious little
movement at the table:
Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District Workers Finally Win a Strong New Contract

The unit’s seasonal aides also received an additional $3 per hour.
City of Oakland Members Stick Together and Fight off an Attack on Their Rights
For years, the City of Oakland had a simple, common-sense approach to drug and alcohol use: if a worker was thought to be impaired at work or under the influence, they would be sent for testing. However, in recent years, some members of the City’s administration started to try to impose a new standard, with a long list of specific job classifications and reduced flexibility for departments. Worst of all, the testing under the new policy was a urine test that would show only the presence of cannabis in the worker’s system, not impairment.
“There’s Nowhere to Live Here”
SEIU 1021 Mendocino County chapters release report addressing Mendocino County’s housing crisis causes, offering recommendations
Dec. 20, 2021: “I can think of a half a dozen employees that the County has offered jobs to here on the coast, but they had to turn down the offer, because they couldn’t find anywhere to live,” reported one Mendocino County employee in a survey. “The average apartment rents for about $1200 to $1300 per month. The rental agency requires your income to be three times the rent. I make around $35 per hour, and I can’t even afford that. How is someone who makes minimum wage or is a single parent supposed to find a place to live?” laments another survey respondent.
