In honor of the work done by Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and Community Clinics workers, we will celebrate our contributions to the mental health of our communities with a recognition and awareness event. Please join us!
From Riverside to Indio, Palm Springs to San Jacinto, Beaumont in-between and the County of Riverside, Public Service workers were honored at Council meetings during Public Service Recognition Week.
Join our celebration of Public Service Recognition Week, May 3-9, as union leaders and members, elected officials, City and County administrators and community leaders recognize the achievements and services provided by public employees.
Almost 400 SEIU Local 721 represented County of Ventura employees will received new ADDITIONAL market based wage increases in the near future. Your SEIU 721 Bargaining Committee met with County representatives and agreed to additional MBA increases for 60 classifications, bringing worker salaries much closer to market value.
L.A. Women have taken over City Hall’s doorstep in a 15-day fast demanding a $15 minimum wage in Los Angeles! Today is day 12 of women going without food and standing strong outside of City Hall’s doorstep. The brave L.A. women include mothers, fast food workers, attorneys, labor leaders, clergy and advocates.
Statement on behalf of Bob Schoonover, President of SEIU Local 721:
“In the last 48 hours, the SEIU 721 bargaining team and our Fix LA community partners have finally witnessed some movement at the bargaining table. For that reason we have decided to not initiate a strike today. However, key issues for our members and the communities they serve must still be fully addressed.
It happened today. Thousands of fast food workers went on strike in hundreds of cities. And they weren’t in the streets alone. SEIU 721 members were there in full force.
