Union Coalition Backs Up SEIU Local in Fight With L.A. County Over Retirement Health Benefits
On Friday, a coalition of unions representing 90,000 workers said they would join Service Employees International Union 721 in its fight with Los Angeles County over retirement health care benefits. The unions -- which already signed contracts with a 6% raise -- said that workers will see their pay cut despite the raise because of rising health care insurance premiums.
