Sonoma County Workers Win Hazard Pay, Increase in Living Wage Ordinance
December was an exciting month for Sonoma County workers, who
scored two big wins from the Board of Supervisors. Thanks to
stellar organizing led by chapter president Jana Blunt, members
won hazard pay for the more than 4,000 County workers (with the
exception of elected officials) in recognition of their dedicated
service and sacrifice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Members also
secured an increase in the county’s living wage ordinance to
$16.75 an hour that will boost the take-home pay of the
lowest-paid County employees.
Sonoma County Chapter President Jana Blunt Is Kicking A$$ for the Working Class
Now She’ll Have an Award That Says So.
Dec. 14, 2021:
Folks who know SEIU 1021 Sonoma County Chapter President Jana Blunt and are familiar with her work with the union agree: She is an amazing leader who gets s*%t done. Her fierce, persistent, and creative organizing and advocacy was crucial in successfully saving 45+ County workers’ jobs in less than a year and, most recently, winning hazard pay for all County employees for their work and sacrifice throughout the pandemic. And she is still fighting hard for an equitable countywide telework policy.
Sonoma County members are fighting for an equitable telework policy as pandemic conditions continue to evolve
As CDC guidelines continue to evolve as the vaccination rate
climbs, many employers are revisiting their telecommuting
policies and the Sonoma County Chapter is no exception. Chapter
leaders in Sonoma, however, have recognized how discrimination
and inequity can dictate who does and does not have access to
remote work options and are taking action.
