After months of hard-fought negotiations, the SEIU Local 99 Bargaining Team at HLPUSD has officially reached a tentative agreement with the District.

This win is a direct result of our bargaining team’s dedicated work and the unwavering solidarity of SEIU Local 99 members who stood together every step of the way. Now, it’s time for members to have their say and make this contract official!

Key Highlights of The Contract Include:

• 2.5% Wage Increase: Retroactive to July 1, 2025.
• Future Wage & Benefit Reopeners: Secures reopeners for 2026–27 and 2027–28, giving us the opportunity to fight for higher compensation as economic conditions and the cost-of-living shift over the next three years.
• Juneteenth Back-Pay: A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) extending compensation for members who worked the day immediately preceding or following Juneteenth holidays in 2021 and 2022.
