After more than three years of worker actions, almost 40 ULPs, a 2-day strike, and numerous negotiation sessions your bargaining committee is pleased to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with Riverside County!
SEIU members will have an opportunity to vote on the tentative agreement. The TA summary can be found below. In addition, we will be scheduling worksite meetings throughout Riverside County to educate members on the details of the tentative agreement and hold ratification voting. You can see a schedule of worksite visits below.
It has not been easy, but through your commitment to Riverside County workers and residents we are happy to say that we’ve finally reached a resolution.
In Unity,
Riverside County Bargaining Team
I am a long time (over 30 years) employee of Riverside County and the proposed contract that you are trying to get us to vote for is totally unfair to us older, long time employees.

I don’t agree with losing my cash back from my flex benefit.
