Organize Your Own Worksite Picket

The state responded with a counteroffer with a minimal difference, moving from 6% to 7%. We knew this wasn’t going to be easy but nothing worth fighting for comes easy. And so the fight continues!

Our informational picket lines are growing throughout the state. More and more members are stepping up and organizing pickets, or other actions, outside their worksites to make sure the state knows we haven’t given up.

Action to End Mandatory Overtime!

The SEIU Local 1000 bargaining team is proposing at the master table that the State of California finally puts an end to mandatory overtime for nurses. We all know how dangerous mandatory overtime is for patients and staff, but it’s important that management hears it from all of us! Take 2 minutes and please call/email your Department Head and urge them to support our proposal because we all benefit from a safe working environment.

Use the list below to find who you should contact based on your department:

  • Department of State Hospital- Executive Director  
  • Department of Veteran Affairs- Director of Nursing
  • Department of Developmental Services- Executive Director
  • California Correctional Health Care Services/CDCR- Your facility’s Chief Nurse Executive 

***In order to make sure our message is heard, please remember to be courteous and respectful!

Below is a simple script to use when making your calls or emails:

“My name is _____, and I have been a nurse with the State of California for ___ years. I love my job and take great pride in quality patient care. My coworkers and I sacrificed our health and the health of our families during the pandemic because we knew our work was essential. However, we are now at a breaking point. The high vacancy rate of nurses is putting us ALL at risk once again. The shortage of nurses means we are regularly being expected to work mandatory overtime. Mandatory overtime is unsafe for patients and nurses. Please do the right thing and urge CalHR to accept our proposal to end mandatory overtime for nurses that work for the State of California.”

Bargaining Update July 13, 2023

I wanted to take a minute to provide an update on where we are in our negotiations.

After 14 weeks of negotiations, your bargaining team is still working tirelessly to achieve the best possible deal. This hasn’t been an easy process. Like many of you, I’m frustrated by the State’s offer, but we have continued to move forward and have reached a tentative agreement on key non-economic sections of our contract language. You can read more about our tentative agreement language here.
