When We Fight, We Win! LAUSD Reinstates Hundreds of Members to Summer Bridge Program
Earlier this year, LAUSD wrongfully denied hundreds of SEIU Local 99 members enrollment in the Summer Bridge Fund (also called the Classified School Employee Summer Assistance Program).

We've contacted the District repeatedly to fix this issue. But they refuse to move. It's time to take action.
