Workers in San Mateo Co. show solidarity

July 27 - County, court and home care workers packed the Board of Supervisors chambers to urge for fair contracts currently under negotiations.

What is at issue: Will county leaders support workers who provide vital public services in the community?

SEIU 521 members addressed the Supervisors and personally challenged them to show leadership and do the right thing: find real budget solutions, make managers pay their fair share, stand up for front-line workers.

Help elect John Laird for a stronger California

The governor set a special election to keep voter turnout low. Union members throughout the state are working to make sure voters turn out in this important Senate election. The election here will affect every county and city in California.

Join the effort now!

- In Fresno: Phone Bank on Wednesday, August 4 - 6-8 PM at SEIU 1000
