We will not settle

Hey you all!

Another day in paradise...:) yea right! We are still at the table fighting to make sure that management understands that SEIU-UHW members do not want to go to a PTO/ETO plan because it's just a scheme to cut our sick days! I think that they are getting the hint that our union does not want it and SEIU-UHW isn't backing down from out stand to fight it. Management comes up with all sorts of ways to make it look appealing, but it's NOT convincing us. So I think that our strong brothers and sisters at the table are making it known that it's a no-win battle for them and they need to just back off the whole PTO/ETO scheme. Our brothers and sisters at the table as well as the observers have made it very clear that we are not settling.

This round ended yesterday and we will be back home for another week before we hit it hard again in Hollywood on May 4th. In that week and a half time make sure that we continue to wear purple, sticker up, and speak loud that WE WILL NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN WE DESERVE! That means keeping all our benefits, including our sick days. It takes all of us out in the facilities to make this happen! Stay strong and make sure to check back here the week of the 4th to see the new updates.

In Unity,
Victoria

  1. we have many more outstanding employees than abusers of sick time...this is very insulting to all the other employees that come to work and hardly use their sick time to be penalized for the others. Stay strong and thanks again
