Anti-immigrant protests in Murrieta, California are intimidating and scaring children fleeing violence in Central America. That’s why SEIU locals in California are launching a week of action. We want to bring attention to this humanitarian crisis. We must put the children ahead of partisan politics.
On March 13, St. John’s Well Child and Family Center and SEIU 721 announced a groundbreaking collective bargaining agreement that will provide a living wage of $15 an hour to front-line healthcare workers providing care in some of South Los Angeles’ poorest communities. Council Member Curren Price Jr. and Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas also attended the event to show their support and share their hope that more workers in Los Angles start making a living wage.
This collective bargaining agreement is unprecedented. It lifts up our represented members by providing significant wage increases, including raising all wages to at least $15 an hour.
