Whether we are rallying around issues in our workplaces or hosting events for the public, we are bringing attention to the needs of state workers across California.

The California City Correctional Center (CAC) is scheduled to close on March 31, 2024. Your union has been working carefully to mitigate the affected workers.

We pride ourselves in being a member-led union. We use our voices to shape the future of SEIU Local 1000, and in a broader sense, we impact the lives of all working people.
