Dear Debbie,
I regret to inform you that I am resigning from my position as Region 2 Trustee. Other
commitments have arisen that require much of my attention and I don’t feel I have given or can
give the Trustee position the focus that it deserves. I hope that we will find a new member who
will be able to carry out the duties of the position with energy and effectiveness.
In Solidarity,
John Roitz

Regional Meeting Feedback:
1. Regions 1 & 6 – Lydia Torres reported back. Priority is more members and more
leadership because leaders and members are retiring. Unions for our grandchildren.
2. Region 2 – Javier Sanchez reported. The Region 2 goals for 451 new members was
discussed and divided by City/County/Chapter. The Region is looking to meet goals
of trained stewards and activists. One point that was discussed way “what is our
perceived value among members?”. The workers are the union. Coordinated
bargaining master contracts among small contracts was discussed. New hire
presentations and sign ups are a priority. Leaders leading is most important. One
contract campaign the bargaining team signed up 20 new members in the first
month.
3. Region 3 & 4 – Alysia Bonner reported. The Region decided to increase their new
member goals from 80% to 90% in 2015 and COPE goal to 25%. The Region plans
to increase education and reeducation of what a union is and oneness, to be more
proactive, increase leadership, hold 2 Regional meetings this year, and show the
community that the caucuses and the union are for a better society.
4. Region 5 – Regina Kane reported back. Kern, Kings, Tulare Counties and
Bakersfield City gained 128 new members in January and February but the net gain
was lower because there were many retirees. The Region is having steward
trainings in the officers trying to add to the number of certified stewards. Tulare
County is in bargaining and is building report with the community. There has been a
30% increase in membership. It is a member to member drive; increasing
membership at the new hire orientations. March 13th there was an action with the
community. March 24th there was a member Community 1st action at the BOS. They
need member participation. There was a huge PERB win in Tulare County largely
through the leadership and perseverance of Greg Gomez – a $4,000,000 win in back
pay for the workers. The County is appealing, but the win is huge.
The following documents had been discussed in the Regional Meetings:

Riko Mendez, Political Director, recognized Greg Gomez as the Mayor of Farmersville. He
then presented the Political Priorities for SEIU Local 521 for 2015 through 2016. He said the
key is to get members involved and into action. The members are the union and there is
power and “voice” in numbers
Motion B/7 – Approve the Political Priorities for SEIU Local 521 for 2015 through 2016
Motion: To approve the Political Priorities of SEIU Local 521 for years 2015 and 2016 as
outlined by Political Director Mendez below.
Top Political Priorities 2015-16: For discussion with SEIU 521 Executive Board on March 28th,
2015
1. Pensions: Public pensions continue to be a serious political and fiscal issue for public
employees throughout the nation. Right to Work organizations are continuing to attack
public employee pension on both large and small scale. In California.
a. Former San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed plans to qualify an initiative to change the
fundamental protections of pensions in California state law. Union members,
working families, and allies will need to join together to defeat such a measure
statewide.
b. SB 1234 Secure Choice retirement bill: SEIU 521 will continue to support the
creation of pensions for all type measure at the state level.
c. Cal PERS retiree seat election is this year, the SEIU endorsed candidate is
incumbent Henry Jones
2. Organizing and Growth: Healthcare organizing and Childcare organizing are our top
campaigns within SEIU 521 as well as supporting Fight for $15 events in our regions.
Ambitious external and internal membership growth goals are being adopted local wide
to ensure the strength and unity within our local moving in to a huge presidential election
year in 2016.
3. ACA Implementation: Now that Affordable Care Act in being implemented throughout
the nation, it’s effectiveness on changing the healthcare landscape in California is
beginning to show promise. The ACA had lots of positive potential for public health
systems represented by SEIU 521 s well as some potential issues that SEIU 521 members
and staff will need to take a leadership role on in order to ensure a robust public safety
net. The 5 year cyclic negotiation on federal funding of local California public health
systems in underway in 2015 and shall be completed by the end of the year. SEIU 521
members and staff will continue to be a leading partner in the effort to protect and secure
adequate public health system funding.
4. Federal / State / and Local Elections: Presidential year in 2016, multiple assembly and
senate races at state level, and countless crucial local elections. As we have seen in recent
months, all levels of elected leaders and either contribute to the demise of our movement

8.
or contribute to the movement significantly. Value added from having elected leaders
carry a message of unity and hope while also being willing to stand up to corporate greed
can create a winning alliance.
Comprehensive Immigration Reform and civic engagement work: This is an issue of a
lifetime. With pressure coming from all sides, legislators at the state level have led the
way in sponsoring and passing state legislation that continues to drive the debate in
Washington DC on the issue of immigration. California has a tremendous opportunity to
support the expansion of the DACA and DAPA programs that will allow 5 million people
to stay in our country legally and with the ability to get a driver’s license and basically
come out from the shadows and into the light of a brighter future. SEIU 521 is taking our
role as a public sector local seriously and our approach to the campaigns will take our
status as a public sector local and our member’s skill as public sector service providers in
to account when we engage the community and our employers on the issue on
Comprehensive Immigration Reform. We plan to create and lead a group of SEIU 521
activists and participants in creating a local wide Immigration committee. This will
provide our local a unique opportunity to engage new members in the union on a key and
timely issue.
Revenues: State and local revenues are the primary way SEIU 521 member’s work is
funded. The programs our members provide across the cities, counties, and non-profit
jurisdictions in our regions are in need of increased investment from elected leaders at all
levels. In 2015-16 there will be opportunity to raise revenues at both the State and locals
levels in most areas. SEIU 521 will plan to take a leading role in any large revenue
measure and will also support smaller measures in specific municipalities when available.
Fight for $15 and the living wage campaign: Fast food organizing has taken center stage
on global scale. The work of SEIU and countless SEIU locals and allies across the nation
and world have now successfully made the Fight for $15 a household term and are now
driving the wage and dignity debate in a positive direction. SEIU 521 has already led on
multiple living wage and minimum wage increase campaigns. We plan to continue this
work into with a likely ballot measure that will raise the state minimum wage to between
$13 - $15 dollars per hour.
State Ballot initiatives: TBD
SEIU Local 521 received two awards from the International. One for the ACA work done last
year and a second for being the public sector union to be third highest in COPE Donations.

President’s Report: President Gwyn Harshaw:
Gwyn reported on the International Ignite Conference. The theme was Spark – we are
building the Labor movement by becoming a Spark and igniting passion and enthusiasm.
The conference was for the young and the getting started members and staff mentors.
SEIU Local 521 is already doing all that is being done across the country. SEIU is trying to
build strength in different industries by settling contracts with similar language industry wide.
We are training Sparks. “I’m a Spark!!”
During Lunch:
¾ The Officers met in Executive Session on several issues.
SEIU International Blueprint / 21st Century Blueprint Committee Workshop by Kristy
Sermersheim
This International Committee is looking at everything they can think of in “out of the box
ways” to make a plan to be relevant in 2030. Most things around us are dramatically
changing at a rapid pace and our basis is not solid; these are scary times; we are living in a
VUCA world. The International has identified 6 Megatrends that are and will shape the
future for workers: Demographics, Technology, Climate Change, Global Economy, Work,
and Inequality. The goal is to Leap Frog over points in trends now and instead look beyond
to the future points in the trends so that we don’t invest in what will be obsolete. This way
we will be relevant in 2030 and beyond.
External Organizing Presentation
Fight for $15 – fast food workers, adjunct professors, etc.
Greg Batiste, our external organizer, and Pablo Narvaez, a fast food worker who works in 3
different restaurants, spoke of wages and conditions in the fast food business. Never a raise
in 15 years of work in the industry; always afraid because of his immigration status. $15 per
hour with union backing and support would make a tremendous difference in his life and his
family’s lives. On 4/15/15 make a difference – participate in the National Day of Action.
100,000 people will be participating across the country. Some cities where there will be
actions are: LA, Berkeley, Fresno, and San Jose. Hope is the key.
6 modules of Steward Training – Jennifer Jensen, MOC Chair, there will be a training in
Visalia: we are only as strong as our members!
Childcare/Family Daycare Providers – two childcare workers, Celeste and Alice, and

Chief Elected Officer Report: Luisa Blue
¾ Chief of Staff Announcement – Robert Li has been named Chief of Staff for the
Coast and the North. Catherine Balbas has been named Chief of Staff for the
Central Valley. The job of Chief of Staff at this time is too much for one person.
Robert and Catherine will make a great team.
¾ Immigration Reform – was discussed by Riko during the Political Priorities for 2015
through 2016 motion.
¾ Monterey Bay CLC withholding of percapita payments – The Officers voted in
February 2015 to withhold further payments of percapitas to the MBCLC until they
provide financial report from 2014 and a budget for 2015. This was recommended by
Matt Nathanson.
¾ IHSS Jurisdictional Update – There has been a hiccup in talks among the three
SEIU Unions involved in California Homecare. The UHW leader violated the spirit of
the agreement and made private discussions public. Eliseo Medina is working to
bring the participants in the talks back together to reach a resolution.
¾ Transformation Process – is being expanded to include leadership. There will be
more of a report in June.
¾ Member Complaint in Region 4 – an SEIU member in Fresno County is leading a
decert action of 900 workers in Unit 2 of Fresno County. There is a meeting before
the Board of Supervisors on April 9th to modify the unit, but it is felt this will not be
successful. The man leading the decert action has dual membership. Both dual
membership and leading a decert action are violations of the SEIU International
Bylaws and merit charges being filed against him. The filing charges process has
been started. A group of members have talked with him to drop his decert to no
avail. There are now efforts to mediate the situation. The Right to Work Committee is
being copied on emails this man and his following send. So they are involved.
SEIU International Executive Board Reports:
¾ Luisa’s appointment to the SEIU International Racial Justice Task Force – The
task: Structural Racism impacts everyone’s life. How is this inequality rectified?
Transformation Plan: Robert Li and Catherine Balbus
Between September 2014 and January 2015 the Senior Team Transformation Committee
made up of Albert Carlson, Debbie Narvaez, Khanh Weinberg, Riko Mendez and Robert Li,
met about 9 times to do the ground work for change in how our Local works. It is felt that
now is the time to go a little broader with the Committee by including the Executive Board
Officers, Regional Vice Presidents, Regina Kane from Region 5 and Adam Gintz from
Region 3 (because there are no VPs in those Regions). It is thought that to start this size
committee will be large enough to be inclusive but small enough to function. We want to
start working toward a union that will be relevant in 2030 and be prepared should significant
changes happen between now and then – e.g. if in 2016 Abood v Detroit Board of
9
21 of 73
Education is overturned by the Supreme Court and the public sector chapters no longer
have closed shop. The Staff Committee has recommended several steps to flush out a plan.
Recommendations:
1. A dual track transformation process
a. Short term projects and goals – e.g. a massive membership drive
b. Long term projects and goals – e. g. changing the culture of the Local; improving
the steward system; developing and empowering the stewards to handle all
grievances and disciplines.
2. Form a Committee – the Full Committee with Sub Committees
3. Provide adequate SEIU resources for the Transformation Committee
4. Make “power” a dominant criterion for decision making in the Transformation Committee
5. Start with two main things: know where you’re going – have a vision/road map and have
basic educational power
6. Inclusive of existing or developing important big programs (e.g. the fight for 15),
consider feedback and other recommendations, measure success from a baseline,
engage with external partners, engage the small chapters, engage with other SEIU
Locals, engage the new rising stars (leaders/millennial), do the union work.
Informational Item –
None.

Motion Title: Authorization for the Officers to Approve the Fresno County
Chapter Bylaws.
Recommended By: Pamela Rodgers, Administrative Director
Background: This month the President of the Fresno County Chapter contacted Pam
with the Fresno County Chapter Bylaws updates for approval. The President also
informed Pam that the Chapter is conducting its Officers’ elections in August 2015 and
would like the Bylaws approved by the general membership of the Chapter during those
elections. She acknowledged that the Chapter Bylaws probably could not be approved
by the Executive Board at the June Executive Board meeting.
Generally, Chapter Bylaws are approved by the Executive Board at their quarterly
meeting. Unfortunately, approval of the Bylaws at the September Executive Board
meeting would be too late for the Fresno County Chapter elections in August. There is
not time left this month for the Bylaws to be approved by the Localwide Bylaws
Committee to go before this month’s Executive Board meeting for approval. Therefore, it
is requested that the Officers be authorized to approve the Fresno County Chapter
Bylaws prior to the Fresno County Chapter elections in August if recommended by the
LocalWide Bylaws Committee.
Motion: The Executive Board authorizes the Officers to approve the Fresno County
Chapter Bylaws prior to the Fresno County Chapter elections in August if they are
recommended for approval by the LocalWide Bylaws Committee.

Motion Title: Authorization that the Officers Concur the Appointments of the Election
Committee for the Executive Board Elections in 2016
Recommended By:
Pamela Rodgers, Administrative Director
Background: It is important that the Election Committee be appointed and concurred
by the September 2015 Executive Board meeting the latest. If it is possible to have the
committee appointed in July or August it would be helpful. In order for this to be done
the Executive Board needs to authorize the Officers to concur the President’s
appointments of members to the Election Committee for the Executive Board Elections
in 2016.
This Election Committee will serve as the Election Committee for all Localwide Elections
between the September Executive Board meeting in 2015 and the Executive Board
meeting in September 2018.
Motion: To authorize the Officers to concur the President’s appointments of members
to the Election Committee for the Executive Board Elections in January of 2016 and all
other Localwide Elections between the September 2015 Executive Board meeting and
the September Executive Board meeting in 2018.

As waiting for the September Executive Board Meeting for approval is too close to the
election, the Administrative Director asks that the Officers be given authority to approve
these documents between now and the September Executive Board Meeting.

Motion Title: Approve a Vendor for the Executive Board Elections in January 2016
Recommended By:
Finance Committee
RoseAnn Dominguez, Local Treasurer, and the Budget and
Background: As a part of the process for the Executive Board Elections in January
2016, a vendor to run the Elections that is within the Local’s two year budget for this
Election needs to be selected and a contract signed.
The amount budgeted for the Executive Board Elections held every three years is
typically spread over two years; approximately half the total cost in the first year (2015)
when the process is begun and commitments made, and the remainder in the actual
year of the election (2016).
The Budget & Finance Committee has reviewed three bids from vendors and a rejection
to bid from a fourth vendor to run our Localwide Executive Board Elections in 2016, and
brings this information to the Executive Board for their decision.
1. Randy Rattray declined to bid.
2. Election Trust bid $46,750 – they have done only smaller elections (chapter,
contract, and association elections). If they are competitive with the League of
Women Voters we will consider testing them on a large Santa Clara County
Election.
3. Election Services Solution bid $425,000 – they did the recent 1021 Officers’
Election. They are based in New York. The bid includes all their travel and
accommodation costs for their staff for the entire duration of the election.
4. American Arbitration Association bid $189,000 – they did our 2009 Officers’
Election with no problems and have done similar elections for many other
SEIU Locals. They have a regional office in Fresno so their bid reflects only a
minimal travel and accommodation costs for Region 3, 4, and 5 votes.
The Budget & Finance Committee recommends that the Local again select the
American Arbitration Association as the vendor to run our Executive Board Elections in
2016. AAA gave us a bid of $189,900 for the quoted job as preformed in 2013 which
includes a vote on any amendments to the Local Bylaws.
Motion: To select the American Arbitration Association as the vendor for the Local 521
Executive Board Elections in 2016 and authorize staff to sign a contract with the AAA in
line with their bid to run our Executive Board Elections.

SEIU Local 521 has established a Strike Hardship Fund to be used to support strike actions.
Objective: This fund is a tool to strengthen participation in approved strike actions by supporting a
limited number of financially disadvantaged members in a strike action. This fund is not intended to be a
substitute for wages.
POLICY:
1. Overview
The Local 521 Executive Board may approve "hardship" funds toward a strike action against a particular
employer based on $250.00 per member of the striking bargaining unit(s) to a maximum of $50,000.
Funds provided exclusively by the Local become available to eligible members only after the 5th day of
the strike action. Striking chapters may apply to the Executive Board for additional strike hardship
funds.
2. Distribution of Local Hardship Funds
Local hardship funds shall be distributed as follows:
a. Starting on Day 6 of the strike, eligible members may apply for the funds.
b. Approval or Denial will take place within two weeks of the receipt of all application documents.
3. Member Eligibility
Members are urged to apply only if they have a serious hardship. To be eligible to receive funds, a
member must submit an application to the Local 521 Strike Hardship Committee based on the timeline
established in number 2 above. Applicants must:
a. Be an active member "in good standing" for a minimum of six months or from date of hire if less
than six months prior to the strike date (be current with dues, not on medical or any other kind of leave,
and not retired).
b. Participate in the strike activities each day, for the whole day, and document this by signing the
union’s strike rosters daily.
c. Acknowledge on the application that the member has read the "Strike Hardship Fund Policy" and
understands the following statement: "This fund is not intended to be a substitute for wages but rather a
tool to strengthen participation in approved strike actions by helping a limited number of financially
disadvantaged members in a strike action."
4. Committees
A. The Strike Hardship Committee:
41 of 73
The policy of the Strike Hardship Committee for recommending assistance is within the framework of
the established purpose of the Strike Hardship Fund. All questions regarding eligibility for assistance
must be based on actual hardship needs of the individuals and that all other means for assistance have
been exhausted.
The Local shall empanel the Strike Hardship Committee at the swearing in of officers at the beginning
of the Executive Board’s three year term. (The Local President shall empanel the first committee upon
adoption of this policy.) The Hardship Committee shall be comprised of the following officers:
•
•
•
•
1st Vice President
One of the two Trustees at Large ( the other will be the backup as needed)
One volunteer Executive Board member from each of the Local’s Regions. (During the 3 year
term if an Executive Board member is for any reason not able to continue to serve, the Regional
Vice President of the affected region will appoint a replacement.)
Additionally the Committee will be assigned a Staff Liaison for facilitation purposes. The Chief
Elected Officer will make the assignment of the committee’s Liaison within the first 60 days of
the new three year term. The liaison assignment will be made sooner if a strike action is likely
before the 60 days.
The responsibilities of the Strike Hardship Committee are:
•
•
•
•
See to the maintenance of and adherence to the Local Strike Hardship Fund policy.
The creation/maintenance of the Community Resource Guide for Hardship Action Team (by
Region).
Assist in the orientation of Hardship Action Team and oversee/monitor Hardship Action Team
activities.
Provide final approval of grant requests submitted by Hardship Action Team
B. Hardship Action Team:
Within 30 working days (sooner if a strike is imminent) after the Strike Hardship Committee is
empaneled by the President and concurred by the Executive Board a pool of volunteers shall be found
who are willing to serve on Chapter Hardship Action Teams during the term of the seated Executive
Board. It is envisioned that each Region will have a separate Region specific pool of 9-12 qualified
volunteers in their member pool. It is noted that eligibility type workers or equivalent type positions
already possess many of the skills that will be necessary on the Chapter Hardship Action Teams.
When a Chapter takes and approves a strike vote: in order to qualify for Strike Hardship Funds a
Chapter Hardship Action Team must be formed within seven (7) working days. To accomplish this, the
Chapter negotiation leadership shall request the services of three qualified, available members of the
Regional volunteer pool and contact the remaining Team members enumerated below. All selected
Chapter Hardship Action Team members must not be attached or involved in any way with the chapter
involved in the strike action.
42 of 73
One of the first duties of the Chapter Hardship Action Team is to distribute a copy of this policy to all
effected chapter members in the most expeditious manner(s) possible.
As area knowledge is critical the Chapter Hardship Action Team shall be comprised of the following
members:
•
•
•
•
•
The Regional Vice President of the striking chapter or his/her designate.
Three members in good standing who reside in the county or region where the chapter is located,
who are not attached or involved in any way with the chapter involved in the strike action. These
members are selected from the Regional volunteer pool.
The Trustee of the region wherein the striking chapter is located as long as the Trustee’s chapter
in not the chapter on strike.
o A Trustee at Large or a Trustee from another region will fill this position if there is not a
Trustee for that region or the Trustee’s chapter is the striking chapter.
A Staff Liaison from the nearest regional office to the striking chapter for facilitation purposes.
NOTE: it is envisioned that this will be an administration type support as the internal organizer
will have their hands full.
Additionally it is envisioned that the fact that a sister chapter is going out on strike and that
regional support is needed builds solidarity among all members of that region. Regional Vice
Presidents are encouraged to take an active role in martialing moral and actual support from the
other chapters in the region.
The Chapter Hardship Action Teams will take an oath of office appropriate to this service and will do so
at the first available meeting of the striking chapter’s officers and/or members. The contact information
and procedures for being awarded a hardship grant will be reviewed by the chair of the Strike Hardship
Committee directly after the administration of the oath or at the same meeting if the agenda indicates a
time sensitive matter must be handled first.
The responsibilities of the Chapter Hardship Action Team are:
•
•
Fleshing out the Community Resource Guide in order to properly identify resources that strikers
may qualify for, including but not limited to, contacting those organizations to confirm the
processes needed to properly ask for and receive aid.
Work with the claimants as counselors on how to best deal with their individual situations, and
after exhausting all other options recommending to the Strike Hardship Committee that their
claims be funded.
5. Categories for Hardship Needs

Action Team shall establish the guidelines for such assistance in each strike situation in accordance with

as water, fuel, and electricity. After the first fifteen (15) calendar days of a strike, Counselors may
recommend, where necessary, payment of such bills which cannot be deferred, in order to prevent
termination of service.
C. Rent, Lodging, and Mortgage Payment Policy:
The Chapter Hardship Action Team shall assist strikers in attempts to defer payment of rent and
mortgage payments. After the first fifteen (15) calendar days of a strike, Counselors may recommend,
where necessary, payment of such items In those cases where all else has failed and foreclosure/eviction
is about to be enforced.
D. If your particular hardship is not listed contact the Chapter Hardship Action Team /Counselor for
information.
***
All financial records shall be maintained by the HAT Committee in highest confidentiality
and in compliance with all laws.

Team. In order to qualify for Strike Hardship Funds, this committee must be formed within a week to
10 days. After a strike vote approving a strike action is taken, a copy of this policy will be distributed to
all effected chapter members in the most expeditious manner possible. This “Boots on the Ground”

striking members.

members:
•
•
The Regional Vice President of the striking chapter or his/her designate.
Three members in good standing who reside in the county or region where the chapter is located,

SEIU Local 521 Executive Board Meeting Motion
Motion Letter: H
Date: June 27, 2015
Motion Title: When is a Raise a Raise?
Recommended By: Luisa Blue, Chief Elected Officer
Background:
There have been several Executive Board Motions since the “unification dues vote” in
2009 making decisions regarding When a Raise is a Raise. We again need help making
such a decision.
At this point in the dues schedule, normally, when a raise is received by a bargaining
unit during negotiations the dues percentage goes up to 1.5%. However, in the case of
Fresno County about 3 years ago a 9% cut in pay was imposed on the workers by
Fresno County. Finally, in 2015 negotiations, the bargaining unit negotiated a 9% raise
over the 3 year term of the contract.
There is a conflict among staff of the Local as to whether this is a raise that triggers a
dues percentage increase or not.
It is Luisa’s recommendation that the 9% does not represent a raise triggering an
increase in the dues percentage, but it merely replaces pay that was taken away
through imposition several years ago.
Motion: To agree that the 9% raise negotiated for Fresno County is not a raise that
would trigger an increase in the dues percentage.

On May 22, 2015, at 12:24 PM, Thomas Debruin <thomas.debruin@seiu.org>
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
Over the last several months I’ve been thinking a lot about the January 2015 IEB resolution
Concerning California Long-Term Care Workers; about what was supposed to be a “confidential
internal discussion” between ULTCW, UHW, and Local 521, conducted under the leadership of
Eliseo Medina; about how we got here, and about where we’re going. I have to admit that I too
have been shaken – not by this decision, but, by the tone and the arguments in some of the
personal letters and e-mails now floating around from UHW leaders and staff attempting to
personalize and to question the IEB’s decision. After a great deal of thought and several sleepless
nights, I decided that I needed to speak out as well.
I started my activism and leadership in the labor movement over 40 years ago as a nursing
assistant in a large nursing home, where I also served as a union steward, bargaining committee
member, and local union president (AFSCME Local 980). After experiencing 1st hand the power
of the union, I made a life long commitment to helping to build the movement for nursing home
workers, and healthcare workers in general, as well as to fight for our voice in demanding the
highest quality of care for those who we serve.
As a national union organizer for 1199, and later as an organizer, VP, S-T, and President of what
is now HCPA, I organized scores of nursing homes across WI and PA; I negotiated 100’s of
nursing home contracts, led numerous multi-local/multi-employer statewide nursing home
bargaining campaigns, and literally 100’s of strikes (including one of the largest and longest
nursing home strikes in the country, against the biggest “for profit” nursing home chain in the
world – Beverly Enterprises).
As a leader within SEIU, I served as co-chair of the Healthcare Division’s Nursing Home
Steering Committee where we developed and led the national Dignity Campaign for nursing
home workers. I was a very active leader on the Executive Committee and Unity Council of the
LTC Division before we created SEIU Healthcare and what is now the united Healthcare and
LTC Division. I also served on the IEB from 1998 to 2012 (as a VP and on the Executive
Committee for much of that time).
I raise my experience, in our great union, only to say that I have been both a leader and a very
active participant in all of the events, campaigns, conventions, meetings, debates, hearings,
decisions, and reports that ultimately led us to the January 2015 IEB resolution Concerning
California Long-Term Care Workers. And, while I defend the right of every elected leader, staff
leader, and member of our union to engage in the democratic process and discussion around this
decision, I must stand up and say that it is simply misleading, self serving, and just plain cynical
to suggest that this decision is about “internal union politics”, is “unilateral”, or somehow just
“about personalities”.
59 of 73
In fact, there is perhaps no other important decision that we have made in our union over the last
decade that has been more discussed, debated, studied, reviewed, voted on, and deliberated then
this one. The simple fact is that the seeds for this decision come from decades of struggle by
nursing home and homecare members to build the right organization, through our union, that
could help lead their fight for a decent life with the dignity and respect that they deserve. Every
SEIU convention since we adopted Bold Action (1996), New Strength Unity (2000), 7 Strengths
(2004), Justice For All (2008), and Lead, Unite, Fight: Win For The 99% (2012) has led us to
and/or directly debated and confirmed this decision.
Contrary to what some people claim, I know from my own personal experience, that the real
driving force behind this decision was never our IU President (Andy Stern or Mary Kay Henry),
while they have worked hard, and used their authority, to implement the will of our organization,
it has been the LTC and IEB leaders of our union, concerned about how we best organize on
scale and build the necessary power and focus to be able to improve the lives of our LTC
members (as witnessed through the debates and discussions of the nursing home steering
committee and later the LTC Division and the IEB from 1996-2015, the Overcoming Purple
Poverty report of the LTC Division 2006, the original CA Jurisdiction Decision 2006, IEB
resolution 2007, Hudson report 2008, CA LTC Jurisdiction Hearing and IEB resolution 2008,
SEIU Convention resolution on LTC Jurisdiction 2008, CA LTC Jurisdiction Hearing
Recommendation [The Page Report] and IEB decision 2008-2009), that have driven this
decision.
The reasons behind the January 2015 IEB resolution Concerning California Long-Term Care
Workers are well established and detailed clearly in the resolution, which was fully and
extensively debated both in and around the IEB meeting in Puerto Rico. After all of the debate
and discussion, that resolution was voted on and adopted unanimously. As outlined in the
resolution “…we are at a critical healthcare moment in this country and in California with
enormous threats and great opportunities…” In order to meet that moment we need to unite all
LTC workers across the state into one powerful organization, and at the same time we need to
make sure that the organizations we create have both the strength and the focus to meet the
massive challenges that we face – to organize on scale the hundreds of thousands of unorganized
LTC and hospital workers and to win the massive new funding that is necessary, for both LTC
and acute care in CA - all at the same time.
Our whole union has been invested in the struggle with Sal Rosselli and NUHW, it was a tragic
mistake made by a small group of former UHW leaders and staff, who forgot that they were only
one part of a much bigger organization; they forgot that locals don’t just exist by themselves, that
no matter how smart or “right” we are our ultimate success is totally interdependent, that we all
have responsibility for each other and for building the unity that makes our larger movement
possible.
I believe that we all love our union, and I greatly appreciate and respect the incredible work of
all of the leaders, staff, and members who, over the last 6 years, put their blood, sweat, and tears
into making our union at UHW the incredible success that it is today. But let’s never again
forget, that as leaders, we have the responsibility to act as both leaders of our entire union as well
as of our locals or individual areas of responsibility, and that carries with it the responsibility to
60 of 73
practice the fundamental principles of democracy. Just as we expect members of the union to
unite behind a common strategy after there has been a full debate and a majority has reached a
democratic decision, we as leaders must do the same thing. It is up to all of us to honor and
respect the outcome of our process and of our decisions – our members and the not-yet-union
healthcare workers in CA and around the country deserve nothing less.
Unity is up to all of us,

Region 1 Report Community First Contract Campaign: Our SCCO community first campaign is in full gear and on the brink of going on strike over issues that affect recruitment/retention of best talent, improving public safety / health services, and addressing wage inequality. After 11 full Master Table Sessions and Countless side‐table bargaining session, we have learned that the County is not serious about addressing real issue facing the community; thus, we have been compelled to call for a strike sanction (June 16, strike vote June 24, and strike). With well over 300 CATs and 200 new members, we have the momentum to pressure the board on issues such as restoring public health nurse staff, addressing retention issue in departments such as 911 and Child Protective Services, and shedding light on race and gender wage inequality. Comprehensive Living Wage: We are now prepared to extend the current SCCO comprehensive living wage county ordinance to all SCCO workers on June 23 at the SCCO Board of Supervisor meeting through a resolution. Schools and Special Districts ‐SC courts ‐Have been in negotiations for over a year, strategy is mostly based on the state budget and returning funds to the statewide courts system ‐Members have been involved with the SEIU state council and lobby days in Sacramento ‐Half of our schools contracts are being negotiated or are re‐opened to negotiate wage increases/benefits increases Redwood City Team ‐San Mateo County is in year 1 of a 4 year deal but we are deeply involved in a benefits committee with all bargaining units in the county. ‐City of Menlo, East Palo Alto, Palo Alto, and San Mateo are bargaining new successor agreements this year The overall theme of most of our negotiations with the exceptions of the court system is positive. What we are seeing crop up again and again in our city chapters is attempts to contract out bargaining unit work. 3 of 64

Region 2 Quarterly Report
Vice President Matt Nathanson
(with many thanks to Regional Director Debbie Narvaez)
June 16, 2015 – updated June 23, 2015
1. Monterey County - In June we will have a full chapter board with new leaders
that we have been working with stepping up to board seats. Eligibility workers,
social workers and employees from the public defenders and DA office. These are
new leaders that Salinas staff have been developing over the past 6 months and
attending steward trainings. We are announcing the bargaining team elections
during our June meeting and officially opening up nominations. The July meeting
will be a general membership meeting, where in we hope to have an agreement to
have one master table deal with all money and benefits issues including common
articles like grievance and NEO. All other tables will bargain on their own with
language and unit specific articles only. Using the past bargaining experiences
will hopefully get us to ensure we bargain more strategically and uniformly.
2. City of Salinas - We have officially filed a charge against the City for failing to
meet and confer after repeated requests for health and safety issues related to
employees being directed to tear down the homeless encampments. This has
brought members together and divided some in that the boss in Public works is
using this as an intimidation tactic with some to tell them that the Union is only
making things worse by filing a bogus complaint. We are also being a lot more
visible in City council meetings where members are speaking up regularly. We hit
a stall in the membership drive due to this but are bouncing back.
3. MAOF - We are preparing for bargaining with this unit. We have lots of issues
now with furloughs for the month of June and July (6 days p/ee) to meet a deficit
as a result of cuts in funding and loss of revenue with competitions of other sites.
This furlough has brought up lots of issues with safety, following state guideline
for number of required staff per children. All of which we are tracking right now
with members. Luisa and I are meeting with the Local 99 E.D. Max via VC on
the 16th to discuss how we can bargain together, using their research assistance
better and hopefully try for a master contract.
4. Soledad, Greenfield, King City - all three bargaining by me, Miguel, Mark and
Jonathan. We are trying to reach agreement before the June 30th deadline, but
may not be possible due to various difficulties with outside council limited dates
for bargaining.
5. May 31st Immigration Forum - this was a great event with Congressman Farr,
Assemblyman Luis Alejo and Supervisor Simon Salinas opening up the event
with staff from Kamala Harris event. About 100 folks attended and booths from
various community and county organizations from Santa Cruz and Monterey
County.
6. Monterey County Courts - Miguel is bargaining with the team now and it was
agreed by the team to do IBB.
7. Hollister - Members are still at the bargaining table and hope to reach an
agreement by the end of the month. They had a very good action 2 weeks ago
with members doing a unity march and rally on the streets and ran into the Mayor
5 of 64
during the event. They continue to have meetings and planned unity actions with
County workers as well.
8. San Benito County - Research is completing an analysis of the budget as we
prepare to go to the table on June 30th for our first meeting. Monday June 15th is
the chapters BBQ in the evening at Veterans Park to kick off contract campaign.
They have decided to use their chapter funds for this kickoff and target
membership and CATs.
9. San Benito County Water District is going to be doing some furloughs because of
the drought. This may increase as the drought gets worse, but the language was
negotiated in the contract and members and Mark Weirick are monitoring the
situation.
10. City of Watsonville - City gave us a LBFO last week. Because of the budget it is
not great but members will have a reduction of furlough and completely
eliminated by 2nd year. This also includes $1000 bonus at ratification along with
unfreezing steps and another $1000 bonus for members that are on the top step.
Members voted to ratify contract on 6/23/15.
11. Santa Cruz County - We are preparing this week for budget hearings, where the
chapter is planning to speak to various items related to Child support, HSA,
Planning. Cuts to budget that impact staffing is a concern to some departments.
We are also having conversations with board members regarding the IT study
which we are asking the Board to take off consent so that they can budget for a
mid year resolution to addressing the study itself. We are hoping to have this
completed by the end of the year. If the Board agrees to budget this we will have
it costed towards our negotiations next year.
12. Library JPA (City & County) - The County last year gave notice that they wished
to withdraw from the JPA due to some Board members concerns of it being too
downtown centric, and not focusing on some library needs and hours in
communities that are underserved like Live Oak. Since then the City has been
meeting with us, and based on our recommendations, it is looking to continue the
JPA with the County with some corrections in the MOE that have a cap of
contributions from the County and the City has an increasing contribution, which
has not been the case for many years. The new board will be made up of board
members, City council members from Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley and Capitola.
There will also be and advisory committee that will be made up of community
members appointed by the Board based on the service area. We are waiting for
the final approval of the Board of Supervisors of the new MOE and JPA
agreement.
13. Scotts Valley - We were given a LBFO 2 weeks ago and members voted it down.
It was a 1% each year for a 3 year term - nothing else. Only 4 sessions were
held. This is not a good place to be and research is assisting us with a budget
analysis as we request to go to mediation with the City but have not heard back
yet. Should they refuse, we will discuss whether fact finding is the next best thing.
14. City of Santa Cruz - We had a great action on May 26th with over 220 members
and community attending. We have received strike sanction from the CLC earlier
this month and should we not reach an agreement this coming week, members are
prepared to move a strike vote. We hope we can reach an agreement. This
6 of 64
campaign has inspired many members in negotiations now and is the best morale
and member engaging event we have had in the City in a long time according to
members. (We will present a short slide show at the e-board meeting). –
UPDATE: City members reached a contract agreement and ratified that
agreement on 6/23/15. It makes substantive structural changes in workers’ pay
over the next 3 ½ years. Workers also overwhelmingly passed a vote of no
confidence in the Santa Cruz City Manager.
15. We have a new IO - Alenis Leon who joined our regional staff on May 29th. She
comes from Texas where she helped organize correctional officers and is a
welcomed addition to the Santa Cruz office. One of her assignments will be to
work with our retirees in Santa Cruz moving forward, along with our non-profit
chapters in Santa Cruz and Monterey.
16. Resident Physicians at NMC - We reached a TA on Friday. 6.5% over 3 years
with language improvements, Rosetta Stone provided from hospital and SDI.
Vote will occur next week.
17. Negotiations are ongoing at the Monterey Bay Area Quality District. However,
the bargaining unit was shocked but the sudden death of our Chief Steward and
chapter leader Mike Sewell. This is a small employer, and Mike’s loss will be felt
by all there. – Update: On June 22, workers have reached a tentative agreement on
a new contract. 3 year term that provides anywhere from 3% to 4.8% salary
increase in the 1st year based on classification (correction for comp study where
some left behind) and CPI with a max of 3% for the 2nd & 3rd year of contract.

REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Regions 3 & 4—June 2015
Alysia Bonner
Fresno County:
 Fresno County members have been meeting with the Board of Supervisors and speaking during public
comment during Board of Supervisors meetings urging the Board to reach a mutual agreement on a fair
and just contract. Members are becoming actively engaged in the contract campaign, attending unity
breaks across the County and signing up to be CATS to keep their coworkers informed of the progress of
negotiations. Fresno County has reached a tentative agreement on a 3 year contract which restores the 9%
wage cute imposed in 2011. Members will be voting on the agreement throughout the month of June.

BU4 Eligibility Workers and Job Specialists are continuing to meet on workload issues. Meet and Confers
are scheduled as new policies are identified and the next Meet and Confer is on June 12th.

More and more employees are becoming active from the library. We have recruited an average of 2 new
leaders/activists each month. This is great movement! The library employees are showing more unity and
participating in unity breaks more often.

At Public Guardian, workers are unifying to address work site resources concerns. They are meeting in the
near future to strategize on how to escalate their concerns to the Board of Supervisors.

In the Public Defender’s office workers are starting to be more unified ad are meeting as a unit to address
worksite issues. They are looking into working with their Director to develop a career path for their
department.

JJC leaders, along with SEIU staff, have been doing site visits and recently did a walk through on the
graveyard shift; leadership showed support for the non-traditional shifts/members. There was an
overwhelmingly good response from the workers.
Fresno Superior Courts:
 Chapter leaders have been engaged in a Meet and Confer on a side letter agreement with Mediators on
Personal Time Off/Attendance. Implementation has been postponed pending the outcome of the meet and
confer.
Caucus Updates:
 The APALA Caucus has again had a successful Heritage Month Celebration and again has increased
membership attendance.
 The Lavender Caucus is again participating in the Community by being a part of the educational/
informational booths at the Gay/Pride parade/event.
 The Native American Caucus is currently finalizing their Logo and Banner to be used in future events for
the local and membership and the group is currently recruiting new members.
First Student:
 First student has begun "unleashing their power!" They were successful in planning and executing a
worksite action/rally. Members planned and ran the entire event from start to finish. They have also
elected their bargaining team and will be going into bargaining within the coming months.
Stanislaus County:
 Negotiations for the Social Worker 5 position have completed and implementation of the classification
will begin in July 2015. This class was created to address the retention and recruitment of experienced
master level social workers in Child welfare. Currently the leadership is in discussion with other
departments that utilize Master level Social Workers to utilize this new position. The membership is set to
get back the last 1% that was removed as a result of the economic downturn in July 2015.

J:\fresno\Other\ADMIN\TENEYA JOHNSON\Director’s Report March 2015; TJ:lem opeiu29afl-cio©2015 SEIU521/CTW-CLC
Tuolumne County:
 During the last three months the membership signed off on a 6 month extension that provides them with a 2%
increase so that the County can complete a classification study. Additionally, the membership helped assist two of
their co-workers that were wrongfully targeted by upper management.
Salida Union School District—Headstart:
 The membership is dealing with more stringent interpretation of the rules governing Head Start. As management is
also not in agreement with the new ideas, we are working together with them on this topic.
Golden Valley Health Center
 The membership ratified a 3.5% COLA and a range increase of 6% to maximum pay. Negotiations for the 25 new
bargaining unit members continues. We are nearing the end of negotiations that would result in 25 Behavioral
Health workers joining the Union after voting to in January 2015.
Riverdale Joint Unified School District
 We have been involved in the LCFF Local Control Funding Formula. We have met with the Jeff Purcell the Interim
Superintendent. We have made suggestions and recommendations regarding the effects that the current funding
will have on all of our classified workers. I have been discussing this process at just about every chapter
meeting for the last year and Purcell has come to 2 chapter meetings to discuss in depth the process. We recently
sunshine our proposals for the 2015-2018 school years which included reopeners for the final two years of the
contract. We expect to begin bargaining towards the end of July and this will be a long process due to the limited
experience that Purcell has.
Fresno Unified Classified Workers
 We have just sunshine our reopener proposals for the 15/16 school year. Believe that when bargaining starts it will
be done in a couple of sessions but as is usual the district always meets with the teachers first. We met with the
Districts LCFF person to discuss the needs of the members and how moneys should be spent where additional
dollars could actually help the different departments. Training has been lacking in the district for some departments
( gardening and custodial) which happen to be under the same director who we are finally getting a reasonable
relationship with. We continue to have issues regarding promotions where different ethnicities accuse the others of
being favorites in most cases. I have found out that our members do not interview very well and we are currently
trying to figure out a way to help the members with that process. As a rule there will be 10-15 members applying
for 1 job so we have quite a few people who are upset. We have no layoffs or bumping this upcoming year for
classified workers so far.
FASTA
 We just sunshine the reopener proposals and like the classified we expect negotiations to be very quick. We had
the districts LCFF person at a chapter meeting and she left with some good ideas from our subs that have been
taken to the school board. Substitute Teachers are a big part of the learning process and I continue to talk to board
members and the Superintendent on investing in substitutes by paying them better and respecting them for the job
that they do. I am very proud to say that during our last contract negotiations I was able to get added to the contract

Region 5 Report to the Executive Board:
DEFINED GOALS
Region 5 defined goals throughout the year, remain:
1. COPE - $400 per year/per organizer

MEMBERSHIP
Region 5 is diligently working on increasing our membership. Region 5 has gained 362 new
membership applications from April through June.
Some of the efforts taking place are:
MEMBERSHP & COPE BLITZ.
Region 5 had 4 membership blitz’s. Our goal is to train our member leaders to have
conversations with fee payors and non members about the importance of full membership. In
April, with the assistance of our external department, Region 5 signed up 101 new members, 5
COPE applications and 5 new CAT (Contract Action Team) members. In Tulare County, we
knocked on 166 doors, and made 177 telephone calls to represented workers. All in all, we are
experiencing a steady growth of new membership as we keep focused on our defined goals. (See
chart, attachment A).
M2M PROGRAM.
A Member 2 Member (M2M) organizing program comes to Region 5. Under the leadership of
member leader Jennifer Jensen and with the assistance of external organizer Jenny Garibay,
member leaders are set to receive training on real-life organizing opportunities and challenges.
Motivating people to act, mobilizing and leadership in the workplace are training topics. There
are currently 6 member leaders who are enrolled in the M2M program. The schedule is set and
the M2M program is ready to start June 20, 2015. (See attachment B).
STEWARD TRAINING.
Our ongoing goal is to train new member leaders to grow in the area of steward leadership and
being a voice at the worksite. Region 5 welcomed 6 new stewards. Some stewards received
L521 Steward Certificates to proudly display at their worksites.
OLT (ORGANIZING LEADERSHIP TRAINING).
OLT remains an ongoing training component at Region 5. Members are receiving training on
how to organize at their worksite, have political discussions and engage with members. To date,
3 members have attended the on-going OLT training sessions.

MEMBER ENGAGEMENT
Region 5 members get engaged at their worksites and in the community.
KERN COUNTY REGIONAL CENTER ACTION.
Frustrated with oversight issues and questionable practices, parents, and worker’s submitted to
the board, a letter of no confidence with over 100 signatures. A subsequent action with parents
and workers calling to question the decisions being made, led to the Board’s decision to end their
employment contract with KRC’s CEO Duane Law. The board’s president Susan Lara, along with
two other board members submitted resignations.
TRADES UNIT (BU2) TEAM.
BU2 is Tulare County’s newest addition to L521 Region 5. Under the leadership of Tulare County
Chapter’s new 1st Vice President Lena Case, BU2 has created a work group. The work group meets
regularly to address the many challenges faced by BU2 at the worksite. Issues such as work load,
inadequate staffing levels, bad management, lack of training, and health and safety concerns, are
some of the issues the team is addressing with management. The BU2 work group report that
they are being stopped by their peers and asked for more information about the group.
KERN COUNTY SAVE THE LIBRARY ACTION.
An action with over 250 member leaders, parents and children joined together to raise awareness
about the continuing need for public library services in our communities. The action caught local
media attention and the fight against privatization of public library services resulted in the BOS
delaying its efforts to privatize library services. Additionally, as a result of the new activism and
realizing the importance of politics in community issues, a member leader enlisted 5 new COPE
participants.
CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS
TULARE COUNTY BARGAINING TEAM FIGHTS AND WINS SALARY INCREASES.
On May 20, 2015 the Tulare County bargaining team signed a tentative agreement with Tulare
County. This was a no take away agreement with a 4% salary increase to Tulare County BU 1, 2, 3,
4, 6 and 7. In addition to the 4% salary increase, the agreement preserved the sick leave buy back
program. The TA was overwhelmingly supported by the membership. The 2 year agreement
provides for a 3% salary increase this July, and a 1% additional increase July 2016. The estimated
cost of the salary increase with the sick leave buy back program is approximately $7M.
KERN COUNTY CHAPTER BARGAINING
Bargaining has shifted for Kern County. Members at our larger department DHS has been leading
the charge in the field. Conducting Union Breaks to support the bargaining team at the table. Our
CATS have been meeting with BOS on a 1-on-1 with our political dept. and it has been
effective. We are having good conversation with the board members and sharing ideas on
investing in Kern County. From this conversation we have identified a way on a savings for the
county, but as well putting money immediately into our members pocket. In addition having a
better understanding of each others position that have not been properly convened across the
table. The bargaining team feels we are close to a tentative, but the CATs will continue to do
actions to support the bargaining team at the table to get a contract.

Region 6 Report Every Hour Counts Campaign: SEIU Local 521 and fellow LTC unions in California have held weekly lobby visits to the Capital demanding the Governor to restore our 7% and OT cuts. While the fight is not over, we have heard some positive information that there is hope that the 7% will be restored for FY 16 and the OT elimination by the Courts will likely be overturned before the end of summer. Santa Clara County IHSS: After 5 months of bargaining, SCCO IHSS leadership successfully worked out an arrangement with SCCO IHSS Public Authority to house orientations at our Union Office. This is significant victory post Harris v. Quinn where membership is paramount in ensuring we retain the resources to uplift homecare works and low wage workers out of poverty. With no shared worksites, new worker orientations have opened a whole new door way to empowering new workers to become union members in manner that is financially sustainable. We average over 65 weekly IHSS Transition: Mary Kay Henry has made the bold announcement in late May to call upon all SEIU Long Term Care Locals to unify into the largest LTC local unions in the nation with over 300,000 represented workers. Our members are very excited about building power in this new organization, called 2015, to win our fight for $15. We are presently working with Eliseo Medina to work out arrangements for a successful transition. 21 of 64

June Organizing Report
By: Catherine Balbas
CALIFORNIA CHILD CARE CAMPAIGN:
The California Child Care Team had a very successful event on June 3 in Sacramento
at the Capitol. The Statewide Childcare Team planned and turned out over 700 people
to our civil disobedience. Our very own Luisa Blue was arrested along with 14
other women to call attention to the Child Care bill for collective bargaining rights: SB
548.
Additionally, to prepare for the possibility of the Bill being signed by the Governor, the
Statewide Childcare Team will draft a plan of action at the end of June for the next six
months. In that plan, the next round of membership blitzes will be planned. We have
been working on leadership development with providers to prepare them to participate
in these blitzes. Lladira Baez is the Coordinator and Norma Barragan Lead Organizer
on this campaign.
CLINICS:
We filed for recognition at Santa Clara Family Health Plan with a strong majority
support. As expected SCFHP’s CEO and fellow Board Members do not agree with
some of the job classifications that we included in the bargaining unit and will be having
a meeting to hash out those detail. We expect meetings to take place sometime next
week to have the Bargaining Unit officially recognized. The first general membership
meeting is set for 6/18. External organizers will help transition the group to our Internal
Organizers within a two month period. In the meantime, we continue to meet
individually with members of the Board to sure up political support and worker support
by maintaining an active OC.
The Clinic Workers Summit is fast approaching on June 27th. The Summit is designed
to engage existing clinic workers in new organizing of clinics. Rosie Kidwell of Kern
County has agreed to represent Local 521 as a panelist at the Summit. Donna
Valenzuela of Santa Clara County has agreed to give a video interview for a segment
during the Summit which will highlight personal stories of clinic workers and the
importance of having a union and a voice in the workplace. Cesar Mata is the campaign
Lead, Pearson Woods the Coordinator, and Jenny Gariby assisting with Member
Organizing.

FIGHT for 15 and a Union (FF15):
The FF15 campaign had a very successful Nationwide Convention in Detroit, Michigan
where various fast food workers from California, including San Jose, attended. The
event itself was planned by the Fast Food Organizing committee and there was a lot of
positive energy in the room. Workers shared how the movement has benefitted them in
their respective cities. Also shared were highlights of key wins that have taken place all
over the country and Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton phoned in express her
support for the FF15 work. Gregory Batiste is the organizer and Pearson Woods the
Coordinator.
STAFF RECRUITMENT:
The Local 521 External Organizing Team currently has 6 new Organizers in Training
(OIT) that have been working with us since June 1st. Applicants for external organizing
positions were screened by the International and offered positions. Candidates are
screened for background checks, hired by the International and assigned to our Local
for possible future recruitments. Currently, Eidref Laxa, current OIT, is interviewing on
June 26th for a 521 position. Coordinator Pearson Woods is responsible for staff
recruitment.
MEMBER ORGANIZING PROJECT:
We were happy to announce a permanent name for the member organizing program. It
is Member 2 Member Organizing Program (M2M). Our goal is to recruit 100 members in
2015 for our M2M Program. Program is at 55 as of June 2015. M2M training workshops
have been scheduled in Bakersfield, Visalia, Fresno and San Jose for the 2015 year.
Internal staff will be actively recruiting members for the M2M Program. Internal and
External staff will co-facilitate some of the workshops for members Region 5. Members
have attended, lobby day, child care rally and did phone banking. All field staff received

REGION 1 TRUSTEE REPORT – June 14, 2015
By: Connie Chew - SEIU 521 Region 1 Trustee
The contract in Santa Clara County will expire on June 21, 2015 and
there have been ongoing meetings and actions that I have attended to
support our negotiators. Thus far, the County is offering little and
requesting cutbacks. There will be a Strike Sanction vote by members
on June 16, 2015 in which I will attend and assist with the vote count.
2015 First Quarter SEIU 521 Audit
On May 9, 2015, I participated in an audit in San Jose with Trustee At
Large, William Ragland. He reviewed Disbursements and Receipts,
and I reviewed a few canceled checks to match bank statements.
There was discussion with Ming Le about the use of first class stamps
which cost much more than bulk mail (48 cents vs. 9 cents), and that
mailings should be planned in advance as much as possible to save
money by using bulk mailing.
I reviewed samplings of Assets, samplings of Payroll and LMRDA
Compliance. Pursuant to discussions with Ming Le, she saw problems
with Pitney Bowe in not billing the correct locations. Also, Fresno was
broken into and a laptop was stolen. A security guard was hired while
a window was being repaired. A better alarm system is
recommended.

2015 Second Quarter Update
Lanterman Coalition ‐ Budgetary Advocacy ‐ Catherine McCoy and David Mulvey have been representing the council on the Lanterman Coalition monthly meetings. We were successful this year in encouraging the Lanterman Coalition to adopt and promote a joint budget plan. Across the state we have been supporting the Lanterman Coalition 10% plan. The Lanterman Coalition was successful in getting 41 or 80 Assembly Members and 24 of 40 State Senators to sign on to Senator Beal’s letter endorsing our proposal. The Lanterman Coalition’s communications plan has been successful in engaging thousands of supporters through social media (See our website, Facebook & Twitter feed) http://www.lantermancoalition.org/ June 19th our San Andreas Regional Chapter members in conjunction with community vendors
working with the office of the Mayor of San Jose will hold a “Keep The Promise” rally in
support of the Lanterman Coalition campaign.
On June 17th our ARC SF members worked in concert with Golden Gate Regional Center and other local service providers to put on a third successful rally in San Francisco is support of the campaign. On March 4th we also participated in a large
Lanterman Coalition Rally on the Capitol steps.
Dave Mulvey was one of the speakers chosen to
address the group.
Later that day our members attended and gave testimony at the Assembly budget sub-committee
hearings. On March 12th our members attended and gave testimony at the Senate Budget Sub
Committee.

FW: Reed Announces New Pension Measure (Sac Bee)
It doesn’t get more insane than this: Public employees hired after 1.1.2019 automatically go into definedcontribution plans [401k etc] … UNLESS the employer gains VOTER APPROVAL for a defined-benefit plan
[which is what most in public sector now have but not in private sector.]
2016 … Here we go!!

California pension initiative requires public vote on retirement benefits
BY JON ORTIZ
jortiz@sacbee.com
For the third time in four years, advocates for altering public pensions have a plan they want to put to a statewide vote.
But this time the proposal by pension-change advocates Chuck Reed and Carl DeMaio has a new twist: Pensions and other retirement
benefits themselves would automatically become a matter of ballot-box politics by requiring voter approval any time government officials
sought to upgrade benefits.
It also would make “defined-contribution” plans the default retirement program for state and local employees hired Jan. 1, 2019 and later.
Employers who wanted to add new employees to “defined-benefit” plans now common in government – but rare in the private sector – would
have to get voter approval after that date.
Reed said that the measure is necessary to rein soaring retiree benefit costs that are “crowding out funding for important services such as
police, fire, schools and road repairs.”
As news about the plan spread Thursday morning, union reaction was swift and predictable.
“Chuck Reed is a hypocrite,” said Bruce Blanning, executive director of the state engineers’ union. “He’s not interested in protecting
taxpayers. His real target is working men and women who dedicated themselves to public service and then retire. He wants their money to be
controlled by the same Wall Street bankers who gave us the Great Recession.”
The proposal would also apply to other retirement benefits, such as medical insurance, aiming to cut what the proponents say are soaring
retirement costs that have driven some cities into bankruptcy. Other provisions would prohibit government employers from paying more than
half the cost of employee retirement benefits without voter approval and block politicians and government agencies from suing or taking
other actions to impede voter-approved ballot measures regarding employee compensation or retirement benefits.
Besides Reed, the Democratic former mayor of San Jose and DeMaio, a former San Diego city councilman, the measure is backed by former
San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris and Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Kampe, both Democrats; former Vallejo Vice Mayor Stephanie Gomes and
Anaheim’s Republican Mayor Tom Tait.
Most state and local government employers offer pensions that require taxpayers and employees to contribute according to various factors,
including anticipated investment returns and the life expectancy of members. The pension payouts are fixed by a formula, regardless of the
return on the pension fund’s investments.
1
53 of 64
CalPERS, for example, gave government employers a pass on their pension contributions in the early 2000s when its investment returns
soared so high that its assets on paper more than covered its long-term obligations. State law has since changed to prohibit so-called “pension
holidays.”
But after investments collapsed during the recession, the fund’s asset values fell precipitously. Those losses and other factors forced
CalPERS to raise pension contribution rates by billions of dollars over the coming years on school districts, the state and local governments.
According to state figures, the gap between what California’s 130 public pension systems have promised and their assets to cover those
promises went from $6.3 billion in 2003 to $198 billion in 2013. Pension-change advocates say the gap will only grow and meeting
obligations to retirees is draining money from core services, particularly in cities were employee compensation is a hefty percentage of
budgets.
Reed and DeMaio convinced San Jose and San Diego to pass local ballot measures in 2012 with the message that guaranteed benefits are
drowning government finances. After losing at the ballot box, unions took the fight to the courts, where the battle rages on.
The long delay in fully implementing those measures proves the need for the new initiative, its proponents say, to discourage endless court
fights and bureaucratic appeals.
The new proposal, DeMaio said, would “give voters a seat at the table” and “cut through the Gordian Knot” of laws that entangle efforts to
cut public pension costs.
But unions view pensions as compensation, just like salaries. As such they must be bargained, labor leaders say, just like furloughs or other
pay cuts. Any perceived attack on benefits, Blanning predicted, will be a call to arms for labor.
“Retirement benefits, including pensions and retire health, are right up there with salaries when it comes to members’ priorities,” Blanning
said.
Conventional legal thinking says that pensions once promised to an employee are unalterable without another benefit, such as a cash
payment, to offset the loss.
Defined-contribution systems, such as 401(k) accounts common in the private sector, shift the risk from the employer to the retiree by
aligning pension payouts with investment returns. The amount contributed by the government – and by extension, taxpayers – isn’t subject to
hit-or-miss investment returns because there’s no guaranteed payment owed retirees. If the market tanks, retirees simply receive less money.
Previous attempts to put a pension measure before California voters over the last decade have focused on defined contributions versus
defined benefits and efforts to cut the benefit for current and future workers.
Reed, for example, tried to parlay his San Jose success into a 2014 statewide measure that would have frozen employees’ accrued defined
benefits under certain circumstances and switched them to defined contribution plans going forward.
The effort stalled when he sued Attorney General Kamala Harris, a labor-friendly Democrat, over language she drew up for voter materials.
Reed claimed she misrepresented the measure to bias voters against it. The court sided with Harris.
This time, however, Reed and DeMaio aren’t going after current employees’ retirement guarantees. Instead, the measure would change
retirement benefits for employees hired in 2019 and later. Those workers would come under a defined contribution plan, unless voters
approved something else.
And by giving voters opportunity to weigh in on future pension upgrades, Reed and DeMaio are appealing to Californians’ love of direct
democracy. Polls over the years have shown time and again that a strong majority of voters support the state’s ballot initiative system.
“It sounds like the proponents want a conversation about transparency and accountability,” said Micheal Shires, a Pepperdine University
government budgeting expert. “It’s a legitimate approach, with all the pluses and minuses that go with putting things in the hands of voters.”

APALA Caucus Report
Hello Sisters and Brothers,
This is the semi-annual EBd report from April 2015 to June 2015 and these are the
activities that San Jose and San Mateo APALA caucus’ members have been
participated.
April: It was planned by Heidi Pham, an educational field trip to the Stanford Museum.
We were the group of 10 members, all are ready with the 2 vehicles and the 2 drivers
are Myrna Bravo and Patrick Mitchell (A guest). All of the displays in the museum are
purchased from all over the world and donated by Mr. and Mrs. Leland Jean Lathrop
Stanford. There is Mummified body from Egypt in 21 dynasty 1071-945 B.C. a Tibetan
Buddhist in 18 century, ceramic vases an bowls from Vietnam, China, Korea, Japan and
Mexico. The purpose of this trip was to show members that all of us never to old to learn
anything from the history, sociology to science..... the source of information is also from
a well known university, I was the tour guide for the group. After that, this is what I
heard from the members, they love it, a wonderful trip, the first time ever they have
been there, some have never been in a museum. I would like to see some of our
members can take some classes at Stanford in the future, or their grandchildren study
there. After walking around in the museum for 2 hours plus, we had lunch on the lawn
under trees shade with free entertainment from a group of soccer players.
May: We have 16 members show up, few of them did not come to the meeting for the
last 4 to 5 months, but came to this time for the trip to San Diego for APALA
CONVENTION. My Loi - A national APALA member was helping to coordinate the hotel
and registration for her friends and caucus members who wanted to go. There are 6
from SJ and 1 from Santa Cruz (according to My Loi). At last minutes, My Loi was back
out for the reason was she will be out of town. The discounted registration fees are
expired. So we will pay at regular cost.
We donated 400.00 for each organization. Nepal earth quake and Fillipino Advocate for
justice.
June: Some of our members and I (Heidi Pham) went to rally and show support for
Child Care Issues at the Sacto Capitol. Luisa Blue and all of her group were arrested for
CIVIL Dis-obedience cause. We will review on the 20th of this month, who could go to
the San Diego APALA convention, and who could not based on certain rules of our
APALA. And it is being fair for others, who never has a chance to go to such event, and
to those, who have gone so many times. Also, I will request a complete report in English
about and of the convention from the members who will be going there.
In Unity,
Heidi Pham

Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance
and Hands Up United Partner for
Asian American and Pacific Islander
Artist Delegation to Ferguson
Posted: 06/04/2015 9:59 pm EDT Updated: 06/04/2015 10:59 pm EDT
All of the national media and cameras may not be on Ferguson, MO anymore but people are still
building, organizing and protesting for change. Later this week Hands Up United will host the
first-ever Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Delegation to Ferguson: A Culture of
Resilience, Resistance and Restoration-Black and AAPI Communities United Through the Arts.
The delegation aims to show that we are all more alike than we are made to believe and now
more than ever we need to come together to stand up for racial and economic justice.
The Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA), a constituency group of the AFL-CIO, is
the first and only organization of AAPI workers and union members working to advance worker,
immigrant and civil rights. APALA has a history of standing in solidarity with other
communities of color. During the organization's founding convention in 1992, the group's first
action was a march to demand justice for Rodney King, a black construction worker who was
assaulted by Los Angeles police officers.
More than 20 years later, as seen through the senseless deaths of Mike Brown and countless
others, police brutality and the frequent lack of police accountability continue to plague
communities of color. What happened in Ferguson is not an isolated incident but is part of a
wider system of discrimination and racism. Ferguson is everywhere.
Hands Up United was founded last year immediately following the death of unarmed teenager
Mike Brown in Ferguson. Driven by the collective efforts of many of St. Louis's strongest
organizers, influencers, and artists, Hands Up United seeks to empower millennials nationwide
to speak out against injustice and end institutional racism by empowering their community
through art, culture and technology. Through strategic organizing campaigns that employ direct
action and base building, Hands Up United has quickly become a leading voice in the Black
Lives Matter movement.
61 of 64
Beyond over-policing, communities of color are also negatively impacted by mass incarceration,
deportation and criminalization as well as poor conditions in our neighborhoods, schools and
work places. Despite attempts to inflame tensions between members of the Black and AAPI
communities, APALA and Hands Up United have come together to fight back.
Our members have been learning, building and growing.
The changing demographic shifts in the U.S., the current political climate and advances in
technology all add to an already fertile ground for organizing communities of color. We continue
to be inspired by a new generation of activists grounded in the importance of community, healing
and love. We understand the model minority myth is rooted in anti-Black racism and we will
educate others on how it is used to divide and conquer communities of color. We know that
black people are disproportionately impacted by state violence and there is a particular reason to
say #BlackLivesMatter.
Art and culture are essential in how people express themselves, how people are united and how
movements are built. We believe that utilizing art and culture will foster a unique space for
learning about the shared challenges within Black and AAPI communities while recognizing and
celebrating our differences.
