Solano County workers urge board for higher pay, staffing and retroactive contract terms
Summary
Dozens of county employees and union representatives urged the Solano County Board of Supervisors to secure a fair contract with retroactive cost-of-living adjustments, better pay for IHSS and 9-1-1 staff, and stronger retention incentives amid staffing shortages.
Dozens of county employees and labor representatives used the board’s public-comment period to press supervisors for higher wages, improved staffing and retroactive contract terms.
Linda Cheeseman, a member of SEIU Local 1021, told the board that county workers are “the backbone” of services and urged a contract that keeps pay up with the cost of living, expands bilingual pay, recognizes Juneteenth and Cesar Chavez as paid holidays and limits contracting out. “We are united.
