Be a 2020 Game Changer and Demand Unions for All from Presidential Candidates
Our union unites people from different places and different races to fight for issues that matter to our families. Working people united in SEIU and the Fight for $15 and a Union demand that the 2020 candidates for President of the United States unabashedly champion economic and racial justice and commit to throwing open the doors for every person in this country to have the opportunity to join a union, no matter where they work.
We’re celebrating YOU! Join fellow 99 Members on Saturday, July 20 at the Education Workers Recognition Lunch
All active SEIU Local 99 members are invited to join our annual Education Workers Recognition Lunch. We want to recognize you and fellow SEIU Local 99 members for your many contributions to making quality education possible for thousands of kids.
Updates to Summer Bridge Fund Improve and Expand the Program
We fought hard in Sacramento to win the Summer Bridge Fund. Now, as the program begins to roll-out, we've continued to work with the state and we’ve won important updates that expand and improve the summer bridge fund. Updates include a $62,400/year income threshold for eligibility. Any work you do outside of the school district does not affect your eligibility.
WHAT WE CARE ABOUT
We care about having good jobs, providing quality education, and building healthy, vibrant communities – and we believe these things all go hand-in-hand. That’s why we lead movements for change at the bargaining table, at our work sites, and at the ballot box.
We fight to win contracts that not only improve wages and benefits for our families, but that also improve staffing and programs for the students and families we serve. As education workers and parents, our commitment to ensuring every student has access to a quality education is deeply personal.
As union members, we exercise our collective voice at the ballot box to ensure that the things we care about—like fair pay, workplace respect, access to affordable health care—are prioritized. And we hold our elected officials accountable to students. If they say they’re going to expand funding for public education or pass laws that help working people, we make sure they do just that.
Child Care for All
Family child care providers give peace-of-mind to working parents by caring for their little ones every day. As educators, they play a vital role in their early development. Yet, providers are some of the lowest paid workers in the state and are denied the right to collective bargaining. With a new governor, this is the year we change that.
2020 Presidential Race
SEIU members are fighting for unions for all. We’re committed to building an economy and a democracy that works for everyone, to winning $15 an hour and a union for all working people—Black, white, and brown—and to working together to hold politicians accountable.
Summer Fund for Classified Employees
In June 2018, Governor Brown signed the 2018-2019 State Budget, which includes $50 million in funding for a summer relief fund for classified employees, matched 1-to-1 by the state. We now have the safety net we need and deserve and we won it through union power. Learn more about the summer relief fund on this page.
