We fought back against the outsourcing of San Francisco’s Materials Testing Lab, and won. Thank you everyone who supported us. City workers are here for SF!

Solidarity is a verb. Solidarity is how we build power. Today at our IFPTE Local 21 Delegate Assembly, we heard from UESF President Cassondra Curiel. Cassondra’s message holds true for all of us: when workers organize across industries, communities, and generations, we are stronger together. ✊💙

Happy Pride, from IFPTE Local 21 President Bianca Polovina (they/them). No matter who you love or what pronouns you use, being in a union is how we win fairness at work. This weekend, join us in the streets and show your pride!

“We are the ones that you call when the mountain lions are coming down from the hills, and when you lose your family pet.” Supporting workers like David means supporting strong public services for San José.

We packed the room at today’s SF Budget and Appropriations Committee meeting to save the City’s Materials Testing Lab from being outsourced to costly and unreliable private labs. Workers from various depts all spoke out. The safety of our streets + city buildings is too important to contract out.

Oakland city workers rallied inside and outside City Hall today, demanding a fair contract that allows us to retain and recruit talented staff so we can keep serving our community. Invest in city workers, invest in Oakland’s services!

We stand united with Oakland city workers! @ifpte21.bsky.social

Oakland is a union town! We stand with the city workers of @ifpte21.bsky.social as they fight for a fair contract!

NEW: "Mayor Daniel Lurie sacrificed transparency and risked paying a higher price when he chose not to let companies compete to reform SF’s broken permitting system, instead awarding a lucrative, no-bid agreement to a tech firm with financial ties to his former nonprofit, according to a new report."

The Materials Testing Laboratory (MTL) makes sure that our streets and buildings don’t sink and collapse. Right now, it’s at risk of being privatized. This won’t save money, and it will hurt SF in the long run. Get the word out by liking and sharing this video.

As international eyes turn to San José, union members march on SJC Airport to fight for a fair contract. The #FIFAWorldCup comes to a city at risk of losing public services and experienced staff. Support city workers and help San José thrive!

"We have a 25% vacancy rate, which is the highest in the region," said Fowler. "That prevents us from doing the work that we need to do to deliver services to Oaklanders."

“Working here and being from here and growing up here, there’s a sense of pride.” We deserve safe, clean streets in Oakland. We do that by investing in our city and the public works staff who get it done.

This PRIDE Month and every month, IFPTE Local 21 proudly stands with LGBTQ+ communities in the fight for justice, equality, and a future where everyone can live and love freely. #HappyPRIDE 💙🌈

Billionaires are spending big to stop Natalie Gee, but we’re bringing out the people power. This Tuesday we can send a clear message that District 4 is not for sale. Natalie Gee is fighting for a more affordable San Francisco. She is the only choice for: ✅ The SF Labor Council ✅ Teachers ✅ Nurses

Happy GOTV Weekend from Oakland! 🗳️ We have three days left to turn out the vote for Yes on Measure E. Without Measure E, there will be more cuts to our critical public services. Billionaires & corporate real estate developers are funding a misinformation campaign against us. Vote YES on Measure E!

Three days until election day! Today our San Francisco members were getting out the vote for @conniechansf.bsky.social and Yes on D. This is how we win for working people. ✊

For the first time in four decades, Nancy Pelosi spent the last weekend before a primary asking voters to hit the polls and put someone else’s name on their ballot for her seat: San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan.

John Weber is the first African American elected emperor for the Imperial Court of San Francisco and SF Pride’s 2026 community grand marshal. He’s voting YES on Prop D because San Francisco always works strongest when we show up for each other and invest in each other.

We had a powerful day on the doors today in San Francisco’s District 4, talking to residents about Natalie Gee for Supervisor, Prop D, and how we can take on the billionaire class. Make sure you vote by June 2! Learn more about Natalie at natalie4d4.org

“Hope will never be silent.” Harvey Milk was born on this day in 1930. Happy birthday, Harvey Milk!

On Monday, Local 21 members packed the Civil Service Commission, urging them to reject a multi-million dollar contract that would outsource jobs and shut out city employees from being involved in the further development and expansion of PermitSF. The Commission delayed their vote, but we’ll be back.

16 days until election day! Today we were out in the Sunset talking to folks about electing Natalie Gee and passing Prop D. Let’s win for working people on June 2. 💪

Yesterday, at the South East Geriatric Services Clinic, we stood with SEIU 1021 to protect San Francisco’s health clinics that are at risk of closure due to the Mayor’s layoffs. These clinics and programs are vital to the people they serve and the entire SF community.

As city workers in Oakland, this is the work we do! Hear from Jason and Elliot, who proudly serve our community. Like and share this video to show your support. Let’s invest in Oakland.

🗞️NEW: Lurie promised a permitting overhaul. Its builders say it was troubled from the start. Ex-employees of OpenGov said the firm knew it would miss deadlines for the project. Current city workers say the software lacks important features.

Standing with SF People's Budget Coalition, who delivered over 1500 postcards to the Mayor’s office. Each card is a handwritten story from a San Franciscan against cuts to services that people depend on. Don’t make working San Franciscans foot the bill. Restore the cuts. Protect public services!

Scenes from last week’s May Day in Contra Costa County with our union siblings and @cclabor.bsky.social. Workers Over Billionaires! ✊

May Day is about solidarity and the power we have as working people. This year we made our message loud and clear: we’re fighting to put workers over billionaires! ✅ Protect public services. ✅ People over robots. ✅ Fight corporate greed.

May the Fourth be with you today and always. ✊💫 #maythe4th

Natalie Gee is running for D4 Supervisor to represent our community, not corporate interests. Today we talked to our neighbors about how Natalie will fight to make San Francisco more affordable for all of us. She’s the only choice for teachers, nurses, and L21. Vote by June 2!

Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage (#AANHPI) Month from IFPTE Local 21! ✊

After eight months of bargaining, Alameda County is still slow-playing while vacancies remain high. Yesterday, in coalition with SEIU 1021 and Teamsters 856, we rallied outside the County Admin Building. Our solidarity is our power! ✊

IFPTE Local 21 is proud to join the South Bay Labor Council, SVYD, and community leaders to get out the vote to help re-elect Peter Ortiz - a proven leader who is committed to economic and racial justice, and someone willing to fight for city workers and working families. 🤝

IFPTE Local 21 is proud to endorse Tom Steyer for governor. Tom is fighting for a California that we all can afford. We stand with Tom because he stands with us. He always fights for working people and is willing to take corporations head on.

At Mayor Lurie’s direction, the San Francisco Department of Public Health is making sweeping cuts to public health programs. Last night we packed the Health Commission meeting alongside patients to urge against these devastating cuts. With $1.4+ billion in reserves, the mayor can stop these cuts!

Last night, our Solano County union coalition (IFPTE 21, SEIU 1021, IUOE 39, and UAPD) was honored with the Bill Camp Memorial Courage Award at the 16th Annual Napa-Solano Central Labor Council Spring Salute.

“Never before in American history have we seen the level of wealth and income inequality that we see today,” Sanders said in a Thursday statement announcing his support for the measure. “San Francisco’s Overpaid CEO Act will make these corporations pay their fair share,” said Sanders.

San Francisco’s emergency services are being cut by Mayor Lurie. Lloyd Shand’s job is to make sure everyone knows how to be safe. In one of the richest cities in the world, these cuts are a choice, not a necessity.

Today, 800+ SF city workers hit the streets to demand a budget that puts public services over private greed. As a result of layoffs, the Mayor is cutting programs that serve unhoused youth, seniors, patients + victims of violence. This is a choice and the wrong choice. Tax the rich! Yes on Prop D!
