We did it! Now it’s time to vote to Lift Up Ventura County!
Starting on Tuesday, December 13th through Thursday December 22nd you can make your voice count by casting your ratification vote at scheduled worksites throughout the County and every day at the SEIU Local 721 Office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The SEIU 721 Riverside County Per Diem bargaining team has reached a tentative agreement with management. If ratified, Riverside County Per Diem bargaining unit members will receive raises and other economic incentives, union rights and grievance procedures, in this, their first contract. Ballots must be received by 5 p.m. on Aug. 5 to be counted.
During negotiations we were able to empower our members, bargaining team and hold strong on our proposals and goals. United, we pushed on our demands and we accomplished a lot.
As part of Reopener discussions provided for in our current contract with the County, your SEIU 721 Bargaining Committee met with County representatives on June 10, 2014.
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.
SEIU 721 members across the county have overwhelmingly turned out to vote.
