President Trump’s first 100 days in office have shocked America. During his campaign, Russian intelligence operatives reportedly manipulated Donald Trump’s lack of knowledge and experience to further their nation’s policy objectives. Now, some of the country’s biggest corporations and their lobbyists are exploiting the same weaknesses to roll back laws and regulations they don’t like, cut their own taxes and, in some cases, use the Office of the President to enrich themselves — all at the expense of ordinary working people and taxpayers.

Each year, SEIU 721 and the County of Riverside come together to offer scholarship awards, ranging from $250 to $5,000, to children of SEIU 721 members who are Riverside county employees. Applications are now being accepted.
The condemnation from the County’s frontline workers and community advocates comes at a time Riverside County is proposing reckless cuts at the bargaining table on the back of public employees and at the cost of cuts in services. The mismanagement of public dollars has inhibited Riverside County from prioritizing funding for the urgent needs in the County.
In response to the increasingly dangerous working conditions that have been continually ignored by Riverside County management, Riverside County SEIU 721 members have begun participating in three self-defense classes this week at worksites across the County to equip members with the skills needed to stay safe on the job.
Dozens of you asked for more self-defense trainings after the very successful class at the Local in January, and it’s finally here! Don’t miss the opportunity to attend one of these three classes happening at worksites throughout the County. We refuse to be victims!
On March 21st Riverside County members delivered over 3,000 signed petitions to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors to highlight how the County is prioritizing sweetheart consulting contracts (watch video) totaling almost $50 million while they propose reckless cuts at bargaining table on the backs of frontline workers.
