About SEIU Local 1000

Local 1000 of the Service Employees International Union is a united front of 96,000 working people employed by the State of California, making Local 1000 the largest public sector union in California and one of the largest in the country. We fight to ensure that state workers…and all workers…are treated fairly and respectfully in the workplace, and are protected from unsafe work conditions.

Local 1000 Officers

Our officers meets monthly to discuss and decide our union program, oversee our budget, and determine the best way for us to come together and win for ourselves, our patients and clients, and our communities. Additionally, they run the union day-to-day based on the program plan and direction of the Executive Board.

EVERYDAY HEROES

“Having the union and a steward at our worksite helps us get problems solved quicker and get answers to problems as they develop. Communication is key to identifying these problems and more importantly, finding the solution.”

“As you can see in our current governmental space, without our voices, we won’t achieve anything. Everyone’s opinion matters, and going into bargaining, it’s important to know that you have a voice—and you should use it. Don’t let it be muffled.”
