Bargaining Team Works to Build Member Power for 2023 Contract Negotiations
With contract negotiations less than a year away, building a stronger membership was the focus for the July 16-17 virtual meeting of the Statewide Bargaining Advisory Council (SBAC)

Union Power Partners with Community Allies for a Big Win on Parking Rates
Our Local 1000 Purpose Statement encourages and empowers us to seek alliances and to work to make a difference in the communities where we live and work.

As DLC 703 Jayson Sandoval recently reported to his fellow activists, “YOU did it! Because of your courage, passion, activism, and determination, the City of Riverside has rolled back its parking rate increase!”
