LA Courts BU 867 (Supervisors)

Bargaining Survey 2021

Our union contract expires on January 15, 2022. We are making preparations now to negotiate the best possible contract for the future.

As always, we prepare for bargaining with our eyes wide open. We know that once again it will be a tough bargaining environment. Under the circumstances, it is important that SEIU Local 721 members unite behind a well-considered bargaining strategy.

Please take a few moments to fill out this bargaining survey and let us know what you think is the right approach to bargaining this year!

Surveys are due by June 25, 2021. If you have questions, please contact Venessa Gills at (213) 453-6066. Thanks for participating!

Question Title

* 1. Please list in order of importance your top 5 issues during this contract negotiation, with "1" being most important.

Question Title

* 2. Which of the following statements best describe your view about salaries at the Court?

We should focus our efforts on winning an across-the-board salary increase for ALL COURT EMPLOYEES to combat the rise in the cost of living.

We all need raises but this year isn’t the year. We should fight to increase the minimum wage and annual paid sick leave employees can earn for all working families in California. This will allow us to bargain for raises for all Court workers next year.

All of the above: We should focus on an across-the-board increase – and increasing the minimum wage and annual paid sick leave for working families.
