AFSCME Local 127 had the pleasure of meeting with Mayor Todd Gloria. At Chollas, Mayor Gloria honored one of our stewards and executive board members, Ramon Robles, who has gone above and beyond assisting employees in need. Mayor Gloria then listened to us explain the necessity of raising employee salaries, keeping pace with cost-of-living adjustments and inflation. To conclude, we discussed actionable steps to provide both short and long-term solutions to remedy previously stagnant wages.
American Red Cross (ARC) workers, including many AFSCME members, are rallying this week in cities nationwide to fight back against mistreatment from their employer and demand a fair contract. The protests are being held in Washington; Lansing, Michigan; Peoria, Illinois; Hartford, Connecticut; Pomona, California; and San Diego.
