California is facing a budget problem. The state is short on money and instead of finding other solutions, Governor Newsom’s new budget plan would cancel the 3% raise state workers were supposed to get in July even though it’s in our contract.
Every year, the Legislature has to approve funding for our contract. This year, the Governor is asking them not to fund our raise. That means if the Legislature goes along with his plan, state workers won’t see their 3% general salary increase (GSI) in their July paycheck.
As a member-led union, SEIU Local 1000 knows that we’re stronger when we stand together. That’s why we’re proud to join our fellow state employee unions to challenge the Governor’s unfair attempt to balance the state budget on our backs. When we stand united, our voices are louder, stronger and cannot be ignored.
