I attended the Jan. 15 LA/OC Cities and Districts Stewards’ and Leaders’ Council meeting at SEIU Local 721. As an LA City member from MOU 8, which joined SEIU 721 a few years ago, I am always seeking opportunities to learn more about my job as a steward.
Late last year, the SEIU 721 Executive Board authorized a $2,500 donation to Haiyan Relief Funds on behalf of the union’s membership. The money went into a fund collected from SEIU Locals across the country. It will be dispersed to the organizations listed on this page.
SEIU Local 721 members marched alongside elected officials, local residents, community leaders and high school marching bands in MLK Parades in Los Angeles and Oxnard.
There’s an opportunity to restore and improve city services coming up. SEIU 721 members will start bargaining for our next contract soon. If you want to make the city stronger and protect our jobs, get involved today.
