We did it! HR360 workers reach a historic first Tentative Agreement (HR360 SEIU Tentative Agreement full set with Signatures 2021)
Huge news—incoming SEIU 1021, 721 and 221 members at HealthRight360 officially have a Tentative Agreement for their first union contract! This historic victory for our union and for non-profit workers in California was made possible by solidarity and hard work from hundreds of HR360 workers up and down the state of California.
Workers secured a strong 2-year agreement that includes significant improvements and protections for workers, and the bargaining team is recommending a YES vote on this Tentative Agreement. In-person voting to ratify the contract is scheduled to be held in the coming weeks.
“This first union contract is a huge win for HR360 workers, our clients, and for HR360 as a whole. I am so proud of our bargaining team and of all our coworkers for the hard work that we have put into building our union and raising the standard for workers in our field. Our clients always come first, and our well-being as workers is integral to the care we provide- this union contract is just a first step in strengthening our commitment to the communities that we serve. I proudly recommend a YES vote,” said Nakia Holmes-Dominick, an HR360 Health Worker from the Isolation and Quarantine Hotel Site 16 in San Francisco.

HR360 Update
We've already achieved several victories over the past few months since securing our union at HealthRIGHT 360, including:
Increased access to PPE
10% premium pay increase for frontline staff
Revised safety policies and procedures to protect against COVID-19
Weekly statewide meetings with HR360 workers, SEIU staff and HR360 to address issues in real time
And that’s just the beginning! So far we’ve had two bargaining sessions in our campaign for our first union contract. We are striving for a strong agreement that values the work we do and keeps workers protected as we provide the high-quality services our clients deserve.

3:31 pm Phone Rally to Save Lyon Martin & Women's Community Clinics
In honor of Trans Visibility Day celebrated on 3/31 and in the memory of Phyllis Lyon November 10, 1924 – April 9, 2020, we are calling on friends, allies, and members of our clinic community to join our Rally-By-Phone every day at 3:31pm to appeal to Mayor Breed to take immediate action to save the vital services of Lyon Martin and Women’s Community Clinics. If you can’t join the action at 3:31pm you can still call anytime, or send the Mayor an email. You can also share this video!
We recommend using the following script as a guide for your calls and emails to the Mayor:
Hello Mayor Breed,
My name is _____ (also name your organization if applicable) and I am calling today to call on your office take immediate action to stop the closure and 90% service reductions at Lyon Martin and Women’s Community Clinics.

#BetterTogether Workers of HR360 Sound Off:
“I’ve been working at HealthRight 360 for 1 year. I started as a temp and wanted to work here to advance my career in this field to eventually become a case manager. I support forming a union at HR360 because when I started as a temp, it was hard to take breaks because there weren’t enough people to cover my work. In transitioning to be permanent staff, I’ve noticed that a lot of us still don’t get adequate breaks and that compensation is not always based on qualifications. Even with working 40 hours a week, I’m not able to make ends meet and have humbled myself to sleep on a living room couch because I could no longer afford my rent. I would like to see more acknowledgement of employees’ qualifications and hard work in our pay and more opportunity for growth.”

“I do this job because I have a heart for helping people and that’s why I’m here. I’ve been told multiple times that I’d never be anything but I made a choice to do what I want in my life. Getting together in a union is a way for us to have better opportunities and be able to make decisions about our work. United we stand and divided we fall. That’s what I stand for and I’m always a person that believes in unity, whether it’s on the job or with my family, unity is where it’s at.”
