We’re getting ready for one of the most important moments we face as state workers: negotiating our next contract in 2026. What we fight for and win will impact our pay, benefits, working conditions, telework, safety, and more.

This is our contract. Our voices matter. And we need every member standing together from the very beginning.

2026 Contract Campaign Kick-Off Calls

On these kick-off calls, we’ll talk about:

• • • The challenges we’re facing as state workers
    • What’s at stake in the 2026 contract
    • How we build power at our worksites
    • How you can help shape our bargaining priorities
    • Ways to get involved through CAT Teams, surveys, and upcoming Townhalls

Contract Action Team (CAT)

Our power at the bargaining table starts in our worksites. It’s going to take thousands of SEIU Local 1000 members taking collective action to win the raises and workplace improvements that we deserve.  We can only make that happen with leaders at every worksite across CA!
