CAPE Contract Update: Big Gaps Remain

CAPE Guidance for Members RE: SEIU ULP Strike Next Week

SEIU 721 has announced an Unfair Labor Practice Strike to be scheduled from Monday, April 28, at 7pm to Wednesday, April 30, at 6:59pm. This is not a regular contract strike as they are not striking over wages or working conditions. We support our union siblings at SEIU as they fight for a fair contract and support their efforts, and condemn the County for its unfair labor practice violations against SEIU. Many members have asked how they can support SEIU members in their ULP strike. CAPE urges our members to follow their consciences as to how to support SEIU at this critical time.
