Our bargaining team returned to the master table today and reached seven tentative agreements with State negotiators. All are rollover language that preserves our previously hard-won rights from past contract campaigns:
- 5.12 – Upward Mobility Program
- 8.8 – Transfer of Leave Credits, Work and Family Program (Catastrophic Leave)
- 9.5 – Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- 15.1 – Appeal of Involuntary Transfer
- 19.1 – Hours of Work (Excludes Units 3, 17, and 21)
- 19.4 – Meal Periods (Excludes Units 17 and 21)
- 19.8 – Flexible Work Hours (Excludes Units 17 and 21)
Tomorrow, Units 17 and 20 are bargaining at the Mandatory Overtime side table. The bargaining team will be at the master table Wednesday through Friday, August 2-4.
Unit-specific bargaining, along with negotiations at the master table, can happen anytime and are being scheduled on a day-to-day basis. When there’s activity at the table, we’ll email and post the results, often on the same day. Click here to read all the recaps of bargaining activity.
Away from the table, our bargaining team, along with our strategic campaign department, is developing our response to the 7% pay raise proposal we received from the State last week, which included a clause for no retroactive pay when the contract is ratified.
We’re taking the fight to every worksite.
On the heels of three successful days of informational pickets at CalHR headquarters last week, we’re launching the Local 1000 Hot Union Summer Worksite Pickets Campaign. It’s time for all of us to be visible with our demand for a contract that Respects Us, Protects Us, and Pays Us! Join SEIU Local 1000 members to show support for bargaining by hosting an informational picket at your worksite! Our goal is to organize 1,000 pickets by August 14. Click here for more information, to start your own informational picket, or to join an already-planned event.
