Save the Supreme Court
Today the Senate began Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation
hearing to serve as the next Supreme Court justice. If
confirmed, Brett Kavanaugh would turn our nation’s highest court

Because of this ongoing, determined effort, the City has settled, agreeing to pay back, with interest, all SEIU 1021 employees of the City of Hayward who lost wages and benefits during the contract imposition period (from February 2, 2014 to June 30, 2015).

years, a seat at the table with the County and health plan
providers to keep premium increases in check, and much more.

Child Care Center to Be Built for SEIU 1021 City Workers
Affordable, Accessible Child Care Plan Moves Forward
During our last contract negotiations, the City tried to go back on its word and informed us that they would not provide the child care center that our contracts, both Citywide and RNs, had included.
