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

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