As the City of Los Angeles faces an unprecedented budget crisis, nearly 500 city engineers have voted to unite in SEIU 721 to have a stronger voice at work and unite with the 22,000 other City employees in the Coalition of LA City Unions, of which SEIU 721 is a member. The LA City Council also voted on Friday by a vote of 14-0 to approve a landmark agreement between the City and the Coalition of LA City Unions that will avert layoffs and furloughs and prevent major service reductions.

Another group of 1,500 City of Los Angeles professional employees will have the choice to vote for SEIU in a run-off election, to be scheduled at a later date. Read more here or visit www.UnitedforLA.org.
