District Labor Council (DLC) Membership Tour
We’re visiting worksites across the state to meet with represented workers, and to build a stronger Local 1000.
Our Local 1000 statewide leaders are meeting with represented employees where they work to talk about the importance of membership in our Union and how a strong membership will impact contract negotiations that are less than a year away.
“We are re-energizing this union to do the work needed to strengthen Local 1000,” said Board Chair Hall. “That starts with generating the leverage we need to begin negotiations in a stronger position, and that begins with generating more members.”
Membership means a stronger voice for better pay, better benefits, and better working conditions!
- The higher our membership, the more power we have at the
bargaining table, and the better our chances of winning a good
contract. The power of our union is in its numbers.
- Only members have a vote in choosing who runs the union,
whether we go on strike, and whether or not to ratify a contract
or increase dues.
- Members are eligible for many benefits, including scholarship awards, legal and financial services, health savings, discounts, and coupons. Click here to learn more.
Thank Your Union!

Notice received on the Updated Telework Policy
SEIU Local 1000 / DSS Meet and Confer Update
On Tuesday, August 23, 2022, SEIU Local 1000 held a meet and confer with the Department of Social Services (DSS) regarding the notice received on the Updated Telework Policy.
We used this meeting to address concerns that the telework stipend form is one pretext towards eroding Bargaining Unit 21 Fair Labor Standards Act-exempt (FLSA-exempt) status and the provisions we have in our Contract (Articles 19.19.21 and 19.19.21(a)).
