On July 2, 2026, SEIU Local 1000 held a meet-and-confer session with the Department of California African American Museum (CAAM) regarding the Return-to-Office (RTO) mandate, effective July 1, 2026.
- Currently, no one in the CAAM department is working remotely.
- During the meeting, the department confirmed the department aims to offer a flexible schedule regarding RTO, allowing employees to discuss their telework days with their supervisors.
- Working in the office will not disrupt employees’ workflows. If employees require accommodation, they should follow the reasonable accommodation process.
- There is availability of workspaces and equipment for in-office work.
CAAM confirmed its intention to adhere to the Governor’s mandate of four days in the office.
In response to the RTO mandate and what is happening at the bargaining table, SEIU Local 1000 is planning Informational Pickets across California to hold the line and fight for a fair contract. Find a local action and make your voice heard!
