SEIU 721 Inglewood city members have a new contract. Over 89 percent of voters approved the one-year contract with city management.
The new agreement holds the line on wages, health and retirement benefits,
and furloughs.
In addition, the contract contains an important
no-layoff clause and new language mandating binding arbitration for
major disciplinary actions. It also creates a Joint Labor Management
Sub-Committee to study and make recommendations on possible cost
savings and revenue sources, and on unfunded liability
costs.
“I was proud to be a member of the bargaining team. We were transparent
and thorough during negotiations. We stood firm and successfully rejected more cuts, while
winning improvements. These are tough economic times, but this
contract shows that SEIU 721 is a union on the move.”
