Contract Action Center
We won a contract that respects us, protects us, and pays us!
After more than four months of intensive negotiations, with support from thousands of Local 1000- represented workers, we won the largest contract in our union’s history.
Members really made the difference, and they’re the ones that helped bring this contract home. It’s a contract that puts more money in our pockets and improves working conditions. We won a 10% general salary increase, special salary and wage adjustments for more than 300 job classifications, a health care stipend and a reduction in pre-retirement deductions.
We’re here to answer your questions. You’ll also find some frequently asked questions that may be helpful towards the bottom of this page. You can also reach out to the Local 1000 Member Resource Center at 866.471.SEIU (7348).
