April 2019 On Tap Newsletter

While the National Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers increased by 0.2% in February 2019, our efforts during the 2017 contract negotiations will result in a raise above the national average (and our negotiated floor of 2.0%)!

The San Francisco/Oakland Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) for February 2019 just came in at 3.3% 

After including the 0.50% negotiated raise, our total increase is 3.8%

This increase will be effective on 04/15/19, appearing our your 05/03/19 paycheck.

Thank you for being a member of Local 2019 and helping achieve this increase for your Sisters and Brothers!

In solidarity,

Mark

Historian Eduardo Contreras will discuss the centrality of unions and labor organizing in Latino life from the 1930s to the 1950s. Drawing on material from his new book, Latinos and the Liberal City: Politics and Protest in San Francisco (UPenn Press, 2019), Contreras will explain how unionization transformed Latinos into political actors and how the pursuit of rights, power, and recognition emanated — first and foremost — from their unions. Contreras conducted a considerable amount of research for this book at the Labor Archives and Research Center (LARC) at San Francisco State University.
