SEIU Local 1000

Local 1000 of the Service Employees International 
Union is a united front of 96,000 working people employed by the State of California, making Local 1000 the largest public sector union in California and one of 
the largest in the country. We fight to ensure that state workers…and all workers…are treated fairly and respectfully in the workplace, and are protected from unsafe work conditions.
