Our bargaining team is pushing back hard after receiving a shameful 6% pay raise offer from the State. During a weekend-long negotiating session, our team proposed a general salary increase that respects us:
Local 1000’s proposal: 26% raise over three years; 10% in 2023, 8% in 2024, and 8% in 2025.
Our contract expires in five days, and we’re putting pressure on the State to bring home a contract we can be proud of. Here’s what you can do – NOW – to make our demand heard:

Your message should say: “My name is______. I’m a member of SEIU Local 1000. CalHR’s counteroffer of 6% is shameful and doesn’t come close to what we need to survive in CA. As dedicated and hardworking state employees, we ask that CalHR agrees to a raise that allows us to provide for ourselves and our family”.
