Ballots are counted, and the new SEIU 721 City of Riverside General, and Refuse Unit bargaining team was announced at the first general membership meeting of the year, Tuesday, Jan. 19. The transition of chapter leadership also took place. Enrique Barboza was installed as the new chapter chair, and members feted outgoing chapter president Frank Corral.
The chapter held a reception at Riverside City Hall before the meeting, where members ate refreshments and mingled with each other and City Council members. Mayor Rusty Bailey presented Corral with a certificate of appreciation, and each council member told stories of working with Frank on various issues over the years.
During the General Membership meeting, Corral was presented with another certificate of appreciation for his tireless work on behalf of chapter members.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Corral assured members. “I will be here in support of the members and chapter leadership.”
The new chapter leadership was sworn in and the bargaining team was announced.
