Local 1000 of the Service Employees International Union is a united front of 96,000 working people employed by the State of California, making Local 1000 the largest public sector union in California and one of the largest in the country.

As contract bargaining with the State begins, union members and state workers are standing up to show their resolve with the "Respect Us, Protect Us, Pay Us" campaign by participating in sticker up days, unity breaks, and petitions. As the campaign moves forward the objective is to bring more power to the bargaining table by enlisting the support and engaging community and elected allies to add pressure and drive home our demands.

Through the rights of a hard-earned contract, the Local 1000 is dedicated to giving all Californians the opportunity to have a good life and enjoy the fruits of social, economic and environmental justice.
