Today we picketed outside the Solano County Health & Social Services building. Instead of bad-faith bargaining, Solano County should invest in recruiting & retaining the experienced workers who provide vital county services. We're ready to strike if we need to to keep our public services strong.

All across the Bay Area, IFPTE Local 21 members say: “YES ON 50!” Today, we’re going door to door 🚪and canvassing our neighbors to make sure that we all do our collective part to save democracy in California! #GOTV

Hands off the Bay! No ICE. No troops. No Trump.

Today we gathered on the steps of SF City Hall in solidarity with our union siblings, community members, and elected officials to spread power—not panic. We can protect each other in our workplaces and in our community.

America’s unions were out in force this weekend at No Kings rallies across the country, fighting to protect our health care, federal workers, our essential services and our democracy. The workers, united, will never be defeated!

Many Local 21 members, like [Jonathan] Knapp, are employees of state, county, or city governments, and saw Saturday’s [No Kings Day] action as a moment to show solidarity with the federal workforce. “When they come for one of us, they come for all of us. We stand with them,” he said.

“When they come for one of us, they come for all of us. We stand with them.” The federal workers who showed up at “No Kings” are not the villains in this story.

NO KINGS 🚫👑 SF + Oakland 10.18.25 📸 Today we hit the streets to stop the the billionaire takeover and protect our public services!

IFPTE Local 21 proudly endorses Prop 50. If we don’t act now, federal cuts to our services and the attacks on our democracy are likely to become permanent. That’s why Local 21 members are going all in with our union siblings to say Yes to Prop 50, the Election Rigging Response Act. 🗳️

This past month in CCSF, we held worksite meetings across the City, where we recapped our efforts from this year’s budget fight, what next year’s budget fight might look like, how Medicaid cuts will likely impact the City budget, and got feedback from our members on their thoughts on the use of AI.

IFPTE Local 21 proudly endorses Measure A in Santa Clara County. Federal cuts threaten the county’s emergency rooms and health services. Local 21 members are voting YES on Measure A to save our local hospitals. Vote YES on Measure A by Tuesday, November 4, 2025. 🗳️

Cuts to Medicaid in the big, ugly bill will rip away health care for millions of working families and their kids across the country. Kids need access to health care more than giant corporations and billionaires need another tax break.

Today in Solano County: County Workers Launched our #SolanoForAll Bargaining Campaign! ✊📢 Our union coalition came together under one banner, “Solano for All” to launch a joint campaign as we kick off contract negotiations.

IFPTE Local 21 proudly celebrates the rich traditions, stories, and cultures that make up Hispanic/Latinx heritage. Together, we honor the diversity that is a part of our collective strength. All humans have a right to migrate. All migrants have human rights.

This weekend across the Bay Area, we helped launch #YESonProp50, the Election Rigging Response Act, with @alameda_labor, @cclabor, @sflabor, and Bay Area working families! We must defeat the #TrumpTakeover and defend our democracy.

We condemn the Supreme Court’s decision to allow federal agents to profile people based on how we look, the language we speak, and the type of work we do. This is a dangerous attack on workers’ freedoms in Los Angeles and across the country, and our solidarity will not waver!
