Open candidate town halls give opportunity to influence process

Local 1000 is joining with other SEIU locals to offer a series of "One Voice Town Hall" election meetings in cities up and down the state where candidates for public office make presentations and answer questions from our members.

The town halls are being held throughout February and March as part of an open endorsement process in which rank and file union members discuss the candidates and vote on recommendations to SEIU's California State Council.

"Interacting personally with candidates is crucial," said Sophia Perkins, a Department of Health Care Services employee who attended the first town hall on Jan. 18 in Sacramento. "It's important to see who will best represent state employees and our families."

Our bargaining team met briefly with the state on Thurs., Aug. 12. The state agreed to our proposals on use of state-owned housing, a committee on upward mobility for Unit 15, uniformity of retirement language for all nine bargaining units, and updating the "supersession" part of our agreement.

Although state negotiators agreed to four of our proposals, they did not change positions on major economic issues.
