Understaffing state hospitals and prisons is dangerous, costly, and harmful to overworked staff. A state audit found vacancies are growing, and as a result, the state has racked up $95 million in fines for violating minimum staffing levels.

AB 1729 has officially passed the Assembly Floor. Our union has been clear: telework works. It helps recruit and retain workers, saves taxpayer dollars, and reduces traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions by keeping cars off the road.

SEIU Local 1000 members joined fellow SEIU members from across the country in Washington, D.C. this week to advocate for healthcare access and protections for working families. Together, workers from across the country showed up with one clear message: We need healthcare, not hate.

Our statement on Gov. Newsom’s new AI Executive Order >> ”We’re glad to see Governor Newsom is finally acknowledging the serious impact AI could have on workers and public services, but workers cannot simply be treated as an afterthought while employers and corporations race toward automation. >>>
