City of San Mateo Chapter: We Reached a Tentative Agreement; Membership Meetings on 4/13; Vote Online on 4/14

Dear members,

We reached a Tentative Agreement on March 16, 2020. Our bargaining team is recommending a YES vote on the Tentative Agreement.

Vote YES online on Tuesday, April 14, 2020, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., so that our new contract can take effect as soon as possible.
If you decide to vote NO, the pay raises will not take effect.

Summary of the Tentative Agreement:

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must be an SEIU 521 union member to vote.
Become an SEIU 521 member no later than Monday, April 13, 2020, 4 p.m., to be able to participate in the online vote: https://members.seiu521.org/SEIU521MembershipApplicationExternal.aspx  

We must have a correct subscribed personal email address and/or cell phone number for you on file so that an online ballot can be sent to you via email or text message.
Update your contact information here no later than Monday, April 13, 2020, 4 p.m.: https://www.seiu521.org/signup

If we have a correct subscribed personal email address on file for you, you will receive an email from Election Buddy (invitation@mail.electionbuddy.com) with the details on how to vote online on the Tentative Agreement. Make sure you add this email address to your contact list to help reduce the risk that their email will be flagged as Spam. Double-check your Spam/Junk folder on April 8 in case the email invitation ends up in this folder.

If we have a correct cell phone number on file for you, you will receive an SMS (text) message sent by Election Buddy from one of several numbers. You may receive an SMS (text) message from 1-877-225-8712, 1-877-225-8482, or some other number.

The vote is scheduled to take place online on Tuesday, April 14, 2020, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We will hold two General Membership Meetings on Monday, April 13, 2020, so pick a time that works for you below. We encourage you to join so that you may hear directly from our bargaining team members why we recommend a YES vote and answer any questions you may have. You may join via Zoom or by phone.
