How will you fight for a better 2025 contract?
July 10, 2024
Get ready! The first formal stage of our county contract campaign begins next week with the election of our Bargaining Team. The Bargaining Team is a group of SEIU members who are elected by co-workers to lead SEIU’s negotiations with the county and fight for a strong contract.
During bargaining, we sit across from senior managers to negotiate issues and proposals the Bargaining Team agrees on after talking to the SEIU coworkers we represent. The team must be prepared to meet frequently on our own time to develop proposals, but bargaining generally happens on county time. The team members inform, educate and mobilize the membership.
If you want to serve on the Bargaining Team there is no action you need to take, ... yet!
Next week, you will receive an email with details about the Bargaining Team process, including bargaining team responsibilities, nomination form and voting seats.
Here are the key dates:
- Monday, July 15 – Nominations open
- Noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, July 18 – Zoom office hours on the nomination process
- 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2: Nominations close
- Monday, Aug. 12: Voting begins
- 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27: Voting closes
- Tuesday, Aug. 29: SEIU announces our official Bargaining Team
Remember, most of your questions will be answered next week. If you have any questions in the meantime, reach out to your steward, worksite organizer or to CountyContract@seiu221.org.
The only way to win a strong contract is for everyone to participate.
