Telework Works for CA
This is a priority issue for Local 1000 and part of our commitment to providing real representation. Changes in telework impact your working conditions, so when our employer seeks to change working conditions (including telework), they must notice Local 1000 of these changes.
When Local 1000 receives notice of proposed changes, it enables the Union to bargain over those changes to mitigate the impacts. The employer may not change working conditions without considering the impact to workers—and never unilaterally. And that’s where your Union steps in. If your department is implementing RTO and this impacts you and your coworkers, please reach out to your URC Rep, or the MRC, to get an update on your department’s Meet and Confer AND we encourage you to take action below!
An open letter to the Represented Workers of SEIU Local 1000
As many of you are aware, on Thursday, January 18th, 2024, SEIU Local 1000 experienced a network disruption by an outside actor. As we investigated the incident we learned that it was caused by certain data being encrypted. We are aware of the discussion happening on social media about the type of attack we are purported to have had and the actor by whom it was apparently done. We are currently working with outside experts to ensure ongoing network security and assist and advise as we continue to restore our operations.

EDD workers get their hard-earned contract rights enforced
When Tracie Kimbrough came to the Lancaster EDD office as a steward, she made it clear that worker’s rights must be enforced in the office. She ordered copies of the contract for everyone, highlighting critical sections of the contract that her fellow EDD workers needed to know, including when medical substantiation for sick leave could be requested, and startup and shutdown time at the workplace. There had not been a steward presence in the office for several years, and many members were unaware of their rights.
