Four months have passed since L.A. County contract negotiations began, and the County has failed to present a fair deal at the bargaining table. Enough is enough! We can’t afford to wait any longer for the County to get it together, so this August we’re bringing the heat!
Starting August, all L.A. County members are strongly encouraged to wear their official “Raise up ALL of LA County” sweatbands everyday while on the job to show their Local 721 unity. The August Heat sweatbands will send a strong a message to Management that L.A. County workers are standing firmly together for a fair contract that invests in its workforce and expands services for the communities they serve.
L.A County employees are ready to turn up the heat at worksites across the region coupling their purple sweatband unity with a series of workplace actions and rallies. Stay tuned and connect with your worksite organizer now for the opportunity to join the fun. The margin of victory for this contract will depend on the strength and unity of the frontline workers!
Isn’t it time to make the County understand that if it wants to be the employer of choice, then it must invest in the workers on the frontline delivering County services to our communities?L.A. County Workers and the communities they serve can’t wait any longer for Management to decide when they will take concrete steps to Raise all of L.A. County–workers must bring the heat!
Spread the word amongst your co-workers, it’s time we show the County we mean business. Wear your purple sweatband every day at work, and encourage your colleagues to don theirs as well. Do it for a better a future, do it for your family and do it for the communities that depend on the services you provide.
Contact your Worksite Organizer to get your official sweatband and for more information on the upcoming August Heat actions!
