Contract Negotiations between SEIU 721 members and the American Red Cross have begun as of March 4. Your elected union committee submitted a first proposal to management that contains items important to ARC workers: donor and blood safety; preserving or improving benefits, especially health insurance; and protecting our rights as union members of SEIU 721.

The union committee is comprised of your ARC coworkers and their duty is to represent your interests in negotiations with management. Our goal is to win for all American Red Cross workers in Southern California. That's why your support during negotiations out at the mobile blood drives and donor centers is critical. We can only win if we show our solidarity and remain united!

We will have complete updates at our next union meeting, on Sunday March 14. Your attendance to this meeting is very important! For more information, contact your union steward, or call Adriel Peterson at 213.305.5749.
