The vote count is over and it’s official – an overwhelming majority of L.A. County Sanitation District, BU 500, Blue Collar members voted in favor of the new Tentative Agreement with cost of living increases, new certification/license pay, and new allowances and bonuses for work and wellness!
The County withdrew its proposal to eliminate both the Flex Benefits cash back and subsidies for current employees, and the opt-out option for Flex Benefits. This is a huge step in the right direction but we have to continue amplifying the pressure to get the County to stop all the takeaways they’re still proposing.
We did it! Our Conejo Recreation and Park District bargaining team reached a Tentative Agreement on a strong two-year contract that strengthens our District.
5% salary increases over the term of the contract

Workers in Cities and District Looking to Restore Vital Services
SEIU 721 members in cities and districts across the Tri-Counties region are gearing up for bargaining campaigns to restore vital services, to make their communities healthier and safer and to win fair contracts with affordable healthcare and retirement security.
Donald Trump attacked us when he nominated Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
In the words of SEIU International President, Mary Kay Henry, “this is a step backwards for every American who wants a good job, the opportunity for a better life for their family, and a real voice in our economy and democracy.”
If Gorsuch is confirmed, the Supreme Court will rule against the communities we serve by gutting the public sector, silencing worker voice, and doing away with collective bargaining.

On Monday November 28th, our bargaining team continued to deliver our comprehensive proposals designed to relieve the burden of healthcare premium increases and ensure the vital services our members provide are valued.
