Our Unity Delivered Real Gains in Our 2024-2025 Reopener! 

SEIU Local 99 members at Compton Unified School District stood strong, stayed united, and made one message clear: we deserve fair pay, dignity on the job, and the tools and protections we need to support our schools and communities. 

Because of our collective power, we have secured a strong Tentative Agreement that brings meaningful improvements to wages, longevity, assignment bonuses, uniforms, health benefits, and more. 

This is what we win when we stand together. This is the power of SEIU Local 99.
