Statement from SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford on passage of San Francisco Proposition F

Media contact: Jennie Smith-Camejo, (510) 710-0201, jennie.smith-camejo@seiu1021.org

“SEIU Local 1021 filed an Unfair Practice Charge today. In the Unfair Practice Charge, we asked the California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) to void Proposition F on the ground that the City failed to provide the union prior notice or opportunity to bargain over the impacts of it before placing it on the ballot. We will also file a Request to Expedite, which asks PERB to put this case to the front of its queue due to the urgency of the matter.

City & County of SF members: Join us for Strike School on Wed., March 13, at 5:30 p.m.
For us to win a contract that addresses our biggest problems, the City needs to know we're serious & ready to do whatever it takes.

San Francisco City and County workers HAVE THE RIGHT TO STRIKE, as affirmed by the California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) last summer.

A strike is a big deal. It’s the most important tool in the union toolbox. It’s also the last resort when the employer is breaking labor laws and workplace issues cannot be successfully resolved through usual channels like contract negotiations and grievance procedures.

Join us Wednesday, March 13, at 5:30 p.m. at Sydney Goldstein Theater, 275 Hayes St., SF for Strike School. You’ll learn:

Join us at 49 S. Van Ness Ave. Tues. 2/27 at 12 p.m.
No contract, no peace! Let's keep the pressure on!

Wow–we did that! SEIU 1021 San Francisco City and County members turned out in force January 17 at City Hall and again last Friday, February 16, at SF General Hospital. We were over 500 members strong Friday–and DPH heard us loud and clear.

We were united and our message was powerful: To provide the quality public services SF residents and visitors need, the City MUST fill its vacant positions and STOP wasteful contracting out.

Takeaways are still on the table. That means we have to keep the pressure on.
