We did it! County of Riverside Members Overwhelmingly Vote Yes and Yes!

County of Riverside members have been fighting hard to build our union power for years and, today, that work has paid off.

Months of negotiations, countless member actions, a massive downtown march, rolling rallies, unfair practice charges and a ULP strike authorization vote have resulted in County of Riverside members overwhelmingly voting to ratify our historic tentative agreement and to invest in ourselves and our union through a phased-in dues realignment. 

These victories would not have been possible without your hard work, determination, and support of your member-elected SEIU 721 bargaining committee.

Congratulations to all County of Riverside members who made this historic victory possible.

Now that we’ve ratified the TA, it will go to the Board for final ratification. At which point, we’ll see the first of our historic raises!
