There are many examples when, as state workers, we are asked to perform duties that are out of the scope of our job classifications. It’s called “working out of class” and our

contract offers strict guidelines to protect our represented employees from working above their current classification without an increase in pay.

When those rights are violated, Local 1000 stands up. Here are some examples:

Veterans Day gives us a time to reflect on those who step up to protect our nation, and we owe them every expression of gratitude. The reason government work was originally called the “civil service” was to imbue it with the same level of import and commitment found in military service. State workers have value that extends far beyond the recognition we receive from the State or the public. Because of your service to California, you are owed much more. That’s exactly why our Contract Campaign is so important and why we must redouble our support to strengthen our Union.

Your Local 1000 Union Contract contains hundreds of articles governing your hard-earned rights, including wages, benefits, and working conditions. This overview explains how our 96,000 represented state workers are entitled to 11 observed holidays and how you’re paid for those holidays should you be required to work on one of those days.

Premium Holidays 

Employees who work any of these six holidays will be paid at 1.5 times their regular rate of pay and will also earn up to 8 hours of holiday credit. 

Our SEIU Local 1000 Purpose Statement encourages us to create a better California and to pursue social, economic, and environmental justice. Our Members take action every day to make positive change in our workplace, at home, and in our communities.

Occasionally, our activists step up and go beyond their hard union work. Today, we’re celebrating our Brother David Matanga, a long-time Local 1000 member-leader who won election as the Montebello City Treasurer.
