Bargaining begins for San Joaquin County Court
Update #1
Aug. 7, 2024
Dear San Joaquin County Court members,
The bargaining team met with management today. It got off to a
slow start this morning, but we made it through! We came prepared
with 7 non-economic proposals, and the Court brought 9
non-economic proposals to the table. We agreed on the ground
rules and tentatively agreed on 8 of the Court’s proposals. All
the proposals were clean-up language as well as bringing it up to
date with current law.
We scheduled the next three bargaining dates:
– August 21
– August 29
Purple Wednesdays in San Joaquin County
Like many of us in SEIU 1021, members in San Joaquin County have been dutifully donning purple every Wednesday for years. Since 2018, Region E Vice President Taffie Walter has made it her mission to get members into the spirit to build camaraderie and show solidarity to management across all chapters.
“It reminds us we are unified and together in a positive way,” said Taffie. “It also shows management the union is still present even when we may not be in bargaining.”
San Joaquin County members shame Board of Supervisors for failing to adopt Juneteenth
On Tuesday, July 25, 2023, SEIU 1021 members returned to the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors meeting chambers to deliver a message: “Shame on you.”
SEIU 1021 members take action for SB 525 in Stockton
Last Wednesday, May 10, healthcare workers rallied in support of SB 525 in Stockton. SB 525 is legislation for a $25 minimum wage for healthcare workers to address the patient care crisis and healthcare workforce shortage. Healthcare workers are burned out and traumatized after the stress of the pandemic and the way healthcare employers disregard staffing needs. Lack of adequate staffing produced tragic results during the pandemic, and healthcare workers are leaving their profession in alarming numbers.
San Joaquin County members take the fight for Juneteenth to the board of supervisors
Tuesday, May 2, rows of SEIU 1021 members holding signs saying, “San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors: Adopt Juneteenth! Black History is American History” filled the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors meeting.
When an SEIU 1021 member becomes an elected official: Interview with Sol Jobrack, Stockton City Council Member, District 1
It is often said that we, as public-sector workers, elect our bosses. Having pro-labor candidates run for and win public office is vital, particularly when it comes time for contract negotiations. Who sits across from us at the bargaining table can dramatically change the dynamics of our contract. That is why when someone sitting across from the bargaining team not only has a pro-labor platform but is a union member; it makes all the difference.
SEIU 1021: It’s time to get out the vote
Over the last several years, we have seen attacks on workers’ rights across the country. The victories we secure on the streets and at the bargaining table are directly linked to the ballot box. The gains we make are under siege by management teams, often elected public officials, trying to use our country’s economic and public health crises as reasons to take away our hard-earned wages and benefits.
Signed, sealed, and delivered: San Joaquin County members approve game-changing contract
After months of contract negotiations, the SEIU Local 1021 San Joaquin County chapter did it. The new 2022 to 2026 contract is signed, sealed, and delivered: it’s ratified. Through eleven bargaining sessions, ongoing “Purple Wednesdays” worksite actions, and countless one-on-one discussions with SEIU Local 1021 San Joaquin County members across the chapter, the contract negotiations between San Joaquin County management and members for the 2022 to 2026 period have finished.
The contract was ratified, with ninety-seven percent voting in favor of ratification.

San Joaquin County Public Works wins new boots
1021 Workers at the San Joaquin County Public Works Chapter know that a good pair of boots makes or breaks the job. The goal of the Department of Public Works is to provide quality service to the community and to enhance the public’s quality of life by protecting their investment in the County’s. As part of the bargaining process, the Public Works Chapter has continually fought for the highest-quality boots possible. Our members work in underground facilities, on roadways, across bridges, and in waste facilities.
HERO pay for San Joaquin County workers!
As we gear up for another round of bargaining later in the year, we scored a significant victory for San Joaquin County chapter workers.
