Dear State Workers,
Our union is proving once again that when we stand together, we win. We protected the 3% raise we fought for, paused the Governor’s return-to-office mandate for a full year, and kept the door open to bargain again in 2026.
But it doesn’t stop there. We’ve been fighting — and winning — for members across the state. From restoring thousands in pay, to fixing wrongful denials of unemployment benefits, to making sure the State honors its promises, we are holding them accountable.
These victories don’t happen by luck; they happen because members stand united and refuse to be ignored.
We’ve shown our strength, but there’s more to do. Together, we’ll keep fighting for fair pay, workplace rights, and the respect every state worker deserves.
In solidarity,
Anica Walls
President, SEIU Local 1000
