CalSavers
Retirement Security for ALL Launched
CalSavers, the new retirement savings plan that will allow millions more Californians to retire with dignity, launched its pilot program and will begin enrollment in 2019. In 2016, Local 1000 sponsored SB 1234, the most ambitious push to expand retirement security since Social Security in the 1930s. Currently, less than half of private sector workers have access to a pension plan.

Our Local 1000 Purpose Statement inspires us to make a better life for our members and for all Californians—and that includes building stronger communities. Through the efforts of our nine Human Rights committees and our community campaigns, we’re building a stronger state where everyone enjoys affordable health care and housing, the ability to retire with dignity, and where true equality is a reality.

Over the past decade, our health care premiums have gone up by more than 50%, a rate much higher than the cost of living.
Each year, our health care premium rates are established during negotiations between CalPERS and health care insurers like Kaiser and Blue Shield, a process which includes public discussion in May and a vote by the board in June.
