SEIU Local 1000 has begun discussions with CalHR regarding the Generalist Classification Series Consolidation, a proposal that could consolidate over 40 job titles and impact 23,000 employees in Bargaining Unit 1 (BU1). During our first meet-and-confer session, we raised critical concerns around job security, pay impacts, and career growth. Our Chief Negotiator, Susan Rodriguez, made it clear that we will not settle for anything less than fair and equitable outcomes for all affected workers.
Why This Matters:
Even if youre not in BUl, these discussions set an important precedent for how reclassification and consolidation could be handled across other bargaining units. As we continuefighting for fairness, LOCAL 1000 solidarity among all state workers is key to protecting wages, benefits, and career mobility.
What’s Next?
Were holding a virtual town hall on Thursday, November 7th, where BU1 members can provide feedback and learn more about this process. Your participation is crucial as we continue to fight for the best outcomes.
