The 2012 SEIU 721 LHMWD Bargaining team members are Teresa Troidl, Mike Booth and Miguel Rodriguez.
Contract negotiations between Lake Hemet Municipal Water District SEIU 721 members and district management began on Monday, April 23, with the presentation of proposals by the bargaining team comprised of Teresa Troidl, Customer Service Representative II, Miguel Rodriguez, Service Worker III, and Mike Booth, Water Operator II and the team’s chief negotiator.

For over three years we have agreed to extend our contract to help the district stay in the black, while the cost of living has increased for our hard working families. Today we presented fair proposals that will help improve our quality of life and the health and safety of all of us on the job.
