IFPTE Local 21 joined Contra Costa Labor Council in Richmond today door knocking in the rain for YES on Measure B, our county’s response to Trump’s Medicaid cuts. It won’t raise your grocery bills but it will save lives! Please join Contra Costa working families by voting YES on Measure B!

These cuts are a choice, not a necessity. “Cadillo estimated that about half of her youth clients are from the Tenderloin…known for the highest density of children in the city. When she sees her clients, she tries to lift them up, because ‘life has torn them down.’” missionlocal.org/2026/04/dph-...

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, is laying off 127 city workers across 18 departments. It’s the first wave of 500 planned cuts to address a projected $1B budget shortfall.🧵 www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/m...

Today we recognize the many farmworkers whose labor sustains our nation. Their work is essential to every community. They deserve fair pay, safe working conditions and the dignity and respect that come with a voice on the job.

We show up because our democracy, our public services, and our communities are worth protecting. Today, IFPTE Local 21 members marched and said #NOKINGS in San Francisco, no kings anywhere! 🪧✊

BREAKING: Members of SEIU 1021, IFPTE Local 21, and Stationary Engineers Local 39 have all ratified agreements with #SolanoCounty. In coalition, workers united across classifications and departments to push for fair contracts that support both workers and the community.

SF Mayor Lurie has ordered the Department of Public Health (DPH) to cut an estimated 95 positions. Today, Local 21 and other city unions presented over 1,500 signatures from DPH staff to Director Tsai calling on the department to push back against layoffs and protect care! ✊

Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate! 🌙✨ Today, we honor the values of community, compassion, and solidarity. These principles guide both this holiday and our union. As we come together in reflection and gratitude, we’re reminded that when we stand united, we build a more just and caring world for all.

Today we attended the SF Health Commission’s meeting to stand up for public health and the communities we serve. No Layoffs! Protect Care! The Department of Public Health has been ordered to cut an additional $40 million from its budget. These cuts can and they must be avoided.

Our delegates are excited to participate in California Labor’s 2026 Pre-Primary Convention. @californialabor.bsky.social Working people across our state are ready to unite, fight, and win in the upcoming election!

Our statement on reports of proposed cuts to essential services in San Francisco.

IFPTE Local 21 is proud to endorse Asm. Alex Lee for re-election to represent CA State Assembly, District 24. We’re excited to once again endorse a candidate who fights unapologetically for working families, inclusive policies, and communities that deserve better. ✊🗳️

"By cutting our climate workers we are at risk of not meeting our clean air goal (net-zero 2040). There is great momentum for that goal, but by cutting the funding to the plan through these employees it is directly affecting our ability to execute them."

Today, IFPTE Local 21 members of our Court Reporters and Court Professionals Chapters honored SEIU 1021 Members’ ULP Strike Day 1 lines. ✊🪧

Solano County families deserve strong public services! Tell the Board of Supervisors to protect what our community relies on: seiu1021.good.do/solano/email/

Yesterday 2/25 SF Bay PSR’s Dr. Bret Andrews spoke at rally to SAVE SF’s Climate Plan & Equity Hub! The cuts would make our city less safe, harm health & lower-income communities, and be fiscally reckless. The climate plan is essential for protecting our health and children’s future.

Today we rallied outside City Hall alongside a massive coalition of San Franciscans to call on the city to fund SF Environment, fund our future! “You cannot cut climate staff and reach our climate goals.” — Nicole, SF Environment Specialist and Local 21 member.

Last night, our City of San Jose union coalition had an opportunity to present on insufficient staffing levels to Council. While our 2023 contract wins helped fill long-standing vacancies, San Jose remains the most thinly staffed agency in the state.

“It hurts to think that we might not be able to continue serving the city anymore.” Stephanie explains the important work done at SF Environment to meet our climate goals. Without climate staff, there is no Climate Action Plan. Join our rally today in front of City Hall at noon!

Hear from Nicole, a San Francisco resident who works day in and day out to help meet our goal of net zero emissions. Right now her and other environmental specialists are at risk of being laid off. Join us for a rally Wed. 2/25, noon, at SF City Hall to save SF’s Climate Plan!

Local 21 members joined with nurses today at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center to protest the County’s attempt to dismantle the Enhanced Care Management (ECM) program. Laying off nurses, nursing managers, and homeless services specialists will harm patients and must be avoided.

Ramadan Mubarak to all who observe from Local 21. 🌙 In this season of reflection, discipline, and generosity, we recommit ourselves to justice, compassion, and collective care for our communities.

Before this Tuesday, we wish all who celebrate a Happy Lunar New Year from IFPTE Local 21! The Lunar New Year begins on February 17, 2026. This year marks the year of the fire horse, a rare event occurring once every 60 years that signifies intense energy, bold change, and transformation.

The San Francisco teachers union and SFUSD agreed to a $183 million deal early Friday that ends the strike after four days on the picket line. Here’s what you should know about the two-year contract → www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s... 📸: Lizzy Montana Myers/For the S.F. Chronicle

SFUSD students learned more about solidarity, power, and love this week from UESF and all who supported them than they could possibly have learned in school for the week. Thank you educators for showing the way 🙏

Educators in San Francisco are doing everything they can for their students, even as classrooms are stretched thin. SFUSD needs to step up with real investments in staffing and pay. Solidarity with UESF educators fighting for the great schools our children deserve.

Nurses 🤝 Teachers SF is a union city

If you don’t honk and do a thumbs up 👍 at striking teachers to show support and solidarity, I know you’re a terrible person.

"Instead of siphoning tax dollars out of our classrooms & into a savings account, our #SFUSD needs to invest in fully staffed classrooms & fully funded schools. Our schools are in the wealthiest city in the world’s 4th largest economy & administration should not be scrimping on students’ futures."

IFPTE Local 21 members are standing in solidarity with United Educators of San Francisco (UESF) on STRIKE DAY 4 by honoring their picket lines. ✊🪧 You can support educators on strike by writing a letter to the school board or taking other actions here: wecantwait.info/parents/uesf

San Francisco educators are on their 4th day of a strike. Wages, healthcare, & special education remain major issues. Teachers are out across the city, picketing. Aimed at Superintendent Maria Su, some sang "Hey Su" in the Beatles' style. missionlocal.org/2026/02/sf-t...

One day longer, one day stronger! We’ll be back supporting the United Educators of San Francisco picket lines tomorrow morning. 💪

One day longer, one day stronger! ✊ Today IFPTE Local 21 members are showing that we stand steadfast with #UESF on their Strike Day 2 by respecting the picket line! Educators and public school employees deserve respect. This is our shared fight. 🍎🪧⚡️

We’re ready to hit the doors for Peter Ortiz! We’re all in to re-elect a labor champion who we know will always fight for working families. Vote Peter Ortiz for San Jose, District 5 this June 2026! 🗳️

We showed up strong for Natalie Gee’s kickoff last weekend! Local 21 member and D4 resident JR Santos shares why he’s excited to support Natalie Gee for Supervisor. 👇

Peter Ortiz is a proud East San José native and lifelong advocate for improved public safety, neighborhood revitalization, and economic opportunity. IFPTE Local 21 is proud to endorse Peter Ortiz for re-election to San Jose City Council, District 5.

In the past week, the Oaklandside has reported: “One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did.” This is clearly a broken system in need of reform.

This week, as billions of dollars flow into #SuperBowl advertising and the cameras turn to our community, we’re going to show the world what solidarity looks like.
