Since 2012, SEIU Local 1000 has been tangled in labor talks – as an employer, not as California’s largest state employee union.
Now, after Local 1000 recently reached impasse with 135 of its administrative and support staff represented by United Auto Workers Local 2350, the last offer put on the table is going out for a vote. The deal offers a modest raise but rolls back retiree health benefits. Members have rejected similar agreements before.
“Hypocritical,” said UAW 2350 President Joseph Jelincic. Then in the next breath: “Hopefully, we’ll vote for it.”
Local 1000 President Yvonne Walker said through a spokesman, “After three years of negotiations and mediation, I hope the staff ratifies this agreement.”
