Solidarity is a verb. Solidarity is how we build power. Today at our IFPTE Local 21 Delegate Assembly, we heard from UESF President Cassondra Curiel. Cassondra’s message holds true for all of us: when workers organize across industries, communities, and generations, we are stronger together. ✊💙

Happy Pride, from IFPTE Local 21 President Bianca Polovina (they/them). No matter who you love or what pronouns you use, being in a union is how we win fairness at work. This weekend, join us in the streets and show your pride!

We packed the room at today’s SF Budget and Appropriations Committee meeting to save the City’s Materials Testing Lab from being outsourced to costly and unreliable private labs. Workers from various depts all spoke out. The safety of our streets + city buildings is too important to contract out.

Oakland city workers rallied inside and outside City Hall today, demanding a fair contract that allows us to retain and recruit talented staff so we can keep serving our community. Invest in city workers, invest in Oakland’s services!

NEW: "Mayor Daniel Lurie sacrificed transparency and risked paying a higher price when he chose not to let companies compete to reform SF’s broken permitting system, instead awarding a lucrative, no-bid agreement to a tech firm with financial ties to his former nonprofit, according to a new report."

Mayor Lurie moved fast on a signature issue. A new report challenges how he did it

The city report found no evidence of wrongdoing but said Lurie’s office strayed from best practices meant to encourage transparency and protect against favoritism.
