Republican Legislators Delay Our Contract

Local 1000 Members Press GOP on MOU Bill

 

Local 1000 members are calling, e-mailing and writing Republican state Assembly members, demanding they reverse their position on the bill containing our ratified agreement and vote "yes" on AB 964.

"It took our elected bargaining team nearly nine months to negotiate our new contract with the DPA and the governor," said Local 1000 President Yvonne Walker. "Now we need your help with the final step - getting it through the Legislature."

Delegate Elections Underway

 

Ballots have already been mailed to allow Local 1000 members to elect delegates to the upcoming 65th General Council (delegate convention) of the California State Employees Association (CSEA).  The General Council will be held Sep 4 - 7, 2009 in Los Angeles.

 

As an affiliate of CSEA, SEIU Local 1000's 50 District Labor Councils (DLC or local chapter) may elect one delegate for every 100 members within each DLC.  DLC 782 is entitled to elect 12 delegates.

 

The primary function of delegates is to represent SEIU Local 1000 at the California State Employees Association (CSEA) General Council joining delegates from the California State University Employees Union, the Association of California State Supervisors and the CSEA Retirees. At General Council, all delegates vote to elect CSEA officers, adopt the Association’s 3-year budget, and accept or reject proposed changes to the organization’s bylaws. SEIU Local 1000 delegates will vote on the 3-year budget for Local 1000.

 

Key points to remember:

  • If you do not receive a ballot by April 28, call toll-free 1 (800) 506-1434 to request a duplicate ballot

  • Voting for more than 12 candidates will invalidate your ballot.

  • All ballots must be received by 5:00 p.m. on May 20, 2009 via U.S. Mail only
