CAMPAIGN UPDATE
Your contract has been RATIFIED! You and your SEIU Local 1 Residential Division family voted to ratify a strong, new contract that positively affects 4,000 Chicago working families. This contract is historic – you protected your jobs by winning strong language around subcontracting AND won wage increases and strengthened pensions so you can retire with dignity. You worked all summer by attending informational meetings, rallying and marching, and talking to coworkers to build union power. Now, the Residential Division has won a contract that reflects just how essential Local 1 residential workers are – once again proving that when we FIGHT, we WIN!
Residential Division Contract Ratification Vote
On July 20 you and your Residential Division family came together to ratify your new contract with ABOMA! All summer you were clear - the Residential Division would only accept a contract that offers job security, pays fair wages, protects healthcare, and increases pension contributions so residential workers can retire with dignity. Well, ABOMA heard you and offered a contract that does just that. Congratulations on your new contract!
Residential Contract Convention
On June 29 you and your Residential Division family showed up to Roberto Clemente High School for the Residential Contract Convention! Hundreds of residential members came to see the results of the contract survey, learned more about upcoming actions, and got together with to show building owners and management that we mean business.
