Los Angeles Community College District: After members pushed back on LACCD’s initial actions in March, we continue to have extensive engagement with LACCD management. LACCD notified our union that they plan to begin a partial reopening as soon as July 27 to resume some in-person instruction to complete Spring 2020 semester courses which were hard to convert to an on-line environment.

We’re also in full contract negotiations; and we meet weekly with the Chancellor, his senior staff, and representatives from the other bargaining units.

Los Angeles County Office of Education: LACOE has been actively engaged with union staff and member leaders about continuing to work remotely. We are scheduling a meeting to discuss and document these activities.

Hacienda La Puente Unified School District: This employer held-off on scheduling reopening discussions with our union saying that they were waiting on more specific direction from the state and local public health officials. In mid-July, they began holding daily meetings with all the unions representing workers at HLPUSD, including Local 99. The Superintendent and his senior staff and the Board of Education President also participate in these meetings. They call this project “Reopening Innovative and Safe Schools” (or “RISS” pronounced “rise”).

Ventura County Community College District: Since March, SEIU Local 99 Chief Steward and Executive Board Member Maria Urenda has continued her regular monthly meetings (more often as needed) with all three college Presidents and Business Vice Presidents, as well as weekly meetings with the VCHR. We also have a weekly check-in with the Chancellor. Reopening and continuing classified work assignments during closure are standing agenda items at all these meetings.
