Custodians at CCHCS win Shoe Allowance and Back Pay

Uniform and shoe allowances are vital contract rights. When custodians at CCHCS were not receiving their $100 shoe allowance, our Unit 15 members and union staff took action to uphold our contract.

“We fought hard for these allowances, and we’re holding the state accountable to ensure every Unit 15 employee gets what they’re entitled to,” said Eric Murray, Unit 15 Bargaining Chair.

After several productive discussions with CalHR, we successfully secured the overdue shoe allowances and $300 in back pay for our custodians. This win highlights the strength of our unity.

“This victory is a testament to the power of collective action,” Murray emphasized. “When we stand together, we achieve great things!”
