Congratulations to Larkin Street Youth Services members, who voted overwhelmingly to ratify their new contract, with 99% voting yes.
 
This new agreement contains some of the strongest wage increases workers have secured in recent years—everyone will get a 3% retroactive raise dating back to November 1, 2020 while also looking forward to a 4% raise in November of 2021, to be followed by a 4.5% increase in November of 2022.
 
Members also secured an increase in their 403b retirement employer contribution match and increased flexibility in their healthcare provider options. Members also won a boost in their longevity bonuses, additional language to strengthen the power of members to negotiate stronger salaries in the event of a promotion, and language providing for a higher wage premium for members.
