Two weeks ago, we informed you that the city would not include our retroactive payments on our November 27 paychecks.
We also assured you that we would fight with tooth and nail to hold management accountable and ensure that our members are made whole.
That’s why today, our leaders across our bargaining units have signed onto department grievances filed against the City of Los Angeles for failing to honor our contract. Additionally, the Coalition of City Unions is also filing grievances.
Make no mistake, we’re pursuing every avenue to make sure that the city respects the contract we agreed upon and ratified.
In the last year and a half, we’ve given management a taste of what we’re capable of when we’re disrespected. We keep the City running, but we can also bring it to a halt.
Please stay tuned for more breaking news on this situation. We will share more details as soon as they become available.
In solidarity,
SEIU 721
