Relationships matter: SF VP Kristin Hardy on why our union gets active in politics
The midterm elections are right around the corner and SEIU 1021 members are fired up to talk to their friends, neighbors, and coworkers about the political candidates we are endorsing in this election.

We’ve ratified our MTA Service Critical agreement!
Last week, SEIU 1021 members working for the San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency voted overwhelmingly by 96% to ratify our next contract.

This new agreement includes significant progress on the priorities identified by members and will help recruit and retain staff to make our public services strong.
