The seats will be comprised of five (5) members, two (2) of whom are Court Reporters, and ran unopposed. The three open seats will be: one (1) Judicial Assistant, one (1) Legal Processing Assistant and one (1) next highest vote getter. The election will be held on Wednesday, June 17 at various worksites.
The following SEIU 721 San Bernardino Superior Court members have been nominated for the Superior Court Reporters and Court Services Bargaining Team:
Gutierrez, Valerie – Judicial Assistant II I want to represent the ideas of the front line workers. Ensure management makes decisions that mutually benefit both the employees and needs of the court.
Monticue, Kaliska – Legal Processing Assistant II Kaliska is very informative and involved in relaying information to our department during and after SEIU 721 became our union. Kaliska wants to be the voice of the court and her concerns are valid and consist of the concerns of other court employees.
Norton, Patricia – Legal Processing Assistant III have 26 plus years with this Court and I will not allow myself to be a passive bystanders any longer. If SB Courts does not up our benefit package and wages well-trained staff will go elsewhere and we will become a feeder court for all the other counties.

Perry, Anthony – System Tech I want to be the kind of rep that helps to make changes at the negotiations meeting and overall make changes for my fellow Court employees. Not only to make changes, but see those changes implemented within our Court environment. Without change there is no progress.
Peterson, Jeanette – Legal Processing Assistant II Jeanette will represent us fairly, and is a willing party.
Silva, Sandy – Legal Processing Assistant IIHello my name is Sandy G. Silva. I am an Administrative Assistant II. I have been working for the courts for 31 years.
