San Francisco 2024 Citywide Campaign Kickoff – Jan. 17
Join us at City Hall at noon on Jan. 17 to send a strong message that we are united for a great contract to address the City's biggest needs, including staffing & privatization
As we head into contract negotiations in 2024, we face pessimistic budget projections and corporations panhandling for more tax breaks that would further decimate funding for the vital public services we provide.
We need to join together in a show of force to tell City Hall we’ll fight for what the city and its workers need over corporate greed!
Please join us at noon on Jan. 17, 2024, at City Hall for a huge campaign kickoff rally with our City labor partners and allies.
Honoring the legacy of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein & welcoming incoming Sen. Laphonza Butler
Statement from SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford
September 29, 2023, marked the end of an era with the passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein. A trailblazer for women, she was the first woman president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the first woman mayor of San Francisco before becoming the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate from California. As a U.S. Senator, she was the first woman member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the first woman to chair the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, and the first woman to chair the Senate Intelligence Committee.
We are on the verge of a federal government shutdown
Urge your Congressional Representative to stop the shutdown by calling: (202) 224-3121
In these pivotal moments, unity amongst working people is our strongest shield against a federal government shutdown. The shutdown will cause harm to union members and the broader American public.

Today is an exciting day for SEIU 1021 members at Laguna Honda Hospital: After over a year of hard work, Laguna Honda has been approved for recertification by the Medi-Cal program, which over 95% of our patients rely on. This victory cannot be overstated. It not only means that Laguna Honda’s doors will remain open, that our medically fragile patients will not be shipped elsewhere to their detriment, and that our members will keep their jobs.

Statement on Supreme Court decision on Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina (UNC) and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College by SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford
One year after attacking women’s right to self-determination, today the activist conservative majority of the Supreme Court has once again proven its contempt for Black and brown people in its decision on the Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina (UNC) and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College case.

Felton Institute faces harsh criticism for union busting, anti-worker activity
San Francisco Board of Supervisors sides with union and workers
The Board of Supervisors hearing at San Francisco City Hall last Tuesday, April 25, was a testament to union power. In an unorthodox move, the entire board listened to reports of San Francisco nonprofit Felton Institute’s union busting and anti-worker activity. It was clear from the outset that the board was unhappy with Felton. The worker testimonials, supported by indisputable evidence that SEIU provided, were reinforced by every board member on the dais chiming in with their support for the workers and their dismay at Felton’s brazen, unethical actions.
Statement from SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford on the killing of Tyre Nichols by the Memphis Police

Our most heartfelt condolences go out to the family of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who succumbed to his injuries three days after a brutal beating by five Memphis police officers at a traffic stop.
SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford reflects on a significant year for our union
2022 was a big year for our union. I am so proud of the work we did to advance the interests of our members and of working people more broadly while still living and working under the cloud of COVID-19.

Help make our 2022 SEIU 1021 toy drive a success for Bay Area families
Join SEIU 1021, IFPTE Local 21, and nonprofit community partners
around Northern California in filling up a school bus (gracefully
loaned from Hayward Unified School District) with thousands of
toys for children in underserved communities. In the past five
years alone, the SEIU 1021 Toy Drive has successfully collected
and distributed more than 10,000 toys. Due to the effects of the
pandemic and inflation, we anticipate this year’s requests for
toys will be higher than ever, so please contribute if you’re
able.
When We Mobilize Around Our Values, We Win
A reflection from SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford on the November 2022 Midterm Elections
SEIU Local 1021 scored numerous victories large and small in the 2022 midterm elections. I could not be more proud of the hard work our members and staff put in over the past three months to make sure that our members and our communities understood what was on the ballot and turned those ballots in.
Elections have consequences. Help make sure this one benefits working people!
Educate and mobilize your community to vote for candidates and initiatives that advance justice and equity!
We all know how important it is to vote up and down the ballot by now, right? Since national media coverage almost always focuses on federal elections like the House, the Senate, and the White House, it can be easy to lose track of what is happening down the ballot. Yet the local candidates we elect and the local and state ballot initiatives we pass—or vote down—all arguably have a bigger effect on our communities, day-to-day lives, and, as public sector and nonprofit workers, our jobs.
That’s where SEIU 1021 and YOU come in!
