SEIU sets strike dates in Sacramento City Unified School District for custodians, food service workers

Union sets strike dates in Sacramento City Unified School District for custodians, food service workers
The union representing school support staff contends it still has concerns about safety and affordable child care for its members



The ongoing stalemate in labor negotiations between the Sacramento City Unified School District and the Service Employees International Union could lead to a scenario where students face picket lines on campus when in-person learning resumes next week.

The local SEIU chapter, which represents 1,900 members including custodians, bus drivers, instructional aides and food service workers, announced on Thursday that it is planning a two-day strike.

The strike dates are April 22 and 23.

The union contends it still has concerns about safety and affordable child care for its members.

"The main thing we want is for the distancing to be universal, for the N-95 mask to be fitted. And, we need to figure a way to get daycare for our kids," said Karla Faucett, SEIU chapter president.

However, the district countered those claims.

"The main concerns are not health and safety, as framed by SEIU, but instead center on the amount of stipends their members will receive and whether their members will receive child care provided by the district," read a SCUSD statement.

On April 12, the Public Employment Relations Board granted a request to move both parties into the mediation process. Both parties are tentatively scheduled to meet on Monday, according to the district.

The Sacramento City Teachers Association voted to support the SEIU workers with a sympathy strike.

Breaking News: SCTA Rep Council Unanimously Approves Strike Support for SEIU Classified Workers

Breaking News: SCTA Rep Council Unanimously Approves Strike Support for SEIU Classified Workers
SCTA Rep Council Unanimously Approves Standing with SEIU Classified Workers
Up to and Including Striking in Sympathy




Greetings!

Late last week, SEIU Local 1021 which represents approximately 1750 classified workers in SCUSD turned out in record number to reject the District latest offer regarding a reopening MOU and to authorize a strike by a 92% margin.

Classified workers are standing up to the efforts of Superintendent Aguilar to roll back the health and safety standards achieved in our MOU with the District.

We have sat side-by-side with SEIU and they have been with us as we have negotiated how to safely reopen schools to resume in-person instruction.

This evening we held an emergency rep council meeting. After a full discussion, the SCTA rep council unanimously approved the following resolution:

"SCTA stands in solidarity with SEIU. We will fully support our classified co-workers up to and including a sympathy strike with SEIU."

SEIU and SCUSD have been assigned a state mediator. No bargaining has yet been set, and SEIU also has not yet set a strike deadline.

Parents entrust the whole school team with their children so that we can help them learn and keep them safe. SCTA strongly opposes Superintendent Aguilar's effort to roll back health and safety standards and our classified staff.

We will be providing further updates over the next several days, but we wanted to share this important information immediately.

In Unity,

David, Nikki, and John
