Just three weeks after officially becoming members of SEIU Local 721, City of Los Angeles professionals and engineers on Tuesday presented their initial bargaining proposals to the City and demanded a comprehensive budget overview from the City.
Core principles of the proposals include:
▪ An immediate end to furloughs
▪ No layoffs, cuts, takeaways or steps backward
▪ Ensuring public work is done by public workers
“We had a very short time to get things accomplished and everyone worked together well,” said Stacee Karnya, a chemist in the Environmental Monitoring Division, Public Works (MOU 8) who participated in preparations as a member of the Contract Action Team. ” Having been present at the meetings and seeing everything develop, I know we have a good group of people to represent us.”
Contract negotiation sessions with the City will occur on an ongoing basis.
What’s next:
Tuesday, December 22–Hyperion, bargaining presentation by EMD scientists
Tuesday, December 29–Crime Lab, bargaining presentation by criminalists

The site seems to have a problem – the posted letters & sentences read jumbled up & one of the pictures seem misplaced. Could you please check it out. I appreciate it. Azar Nejad
