Tides Advocacy

After months of union advocacy, the budget passed by the SF Board of Supervisors reversed scheduled layoffs of city workers. Unfortunately, it shortchanged the nonprofits doing critical work for our community, including many of those whose workers are SEIU 1021 members, and also eliminated important programs. And there’s more coming: Due to federal Medicaid cuts, the City anticipates a much larger budget deficit; the mayor is likely to reopen the budget before the end of the year, and layoffs and program cuts are expected.
