We did it! After 2 weeks of online and in person voting, LAHSA members have ratified the new 2021-2023 contract with 98% voting YES.
For months, LAHSA SEIU 721 members shared their stories on social media and with other union members, spoke out to our City leaders, participated in an e-action against the LAHSA Board of Commissioners, and walked on the boss at 707 Wilshire Blvd.
By standing #UnionStrong, and participating in all of these actions, our Bargaining Team was able to deliver a contract that we can be proud of, and build on.
We won at least 6% in guaranteed general pay raises over the life of the contract, a $1,300 bonus, and other victories that continue to set the standard for the critical work of helping our unhoused population.
So what’s next? The contract must now be approved by the LAHSA Commission.
