Workers at HCC have overwhelmingly voted to approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for premium relief this December.
Your new SEIU Board worked to address the double-premium issue and successfully secured reimbursements from the College for the state’s December medical, dental, vision, and supplemental premiums.
We’re building a list of priorities, including salary and non-financial matters, for 2025 negotiations. Your input is essential, so we’ll survey the union and union-eligible employees soon. As a new five-member Board, we’re ready to represent you, whether negotiating pay, improving conditions, or in-person at any of your meetings addressing serious workplace issues.
However, we need your membership to succeed. To keep our union, we require 60% membership; to achieve real change, we aim for 70%+. Why not join today?
Common objections and responses:
1. “It’s too expensive ($35/month).”
You gain guaranteed representation for $1.16 daily—less than a cup of coffee, a McDonald’s hamburger, or a candy bar. Most employees don’t need help often, but when they do, non-members miss out. Why take the risk?
2. “I’ll wait to see what the union does first.”
With low membership, results are limited. HR listens to strength in numbers. By joining, you empower us to fight for better pay and conditions.
3. “The College gives us 3% anyway.”
That 3% happens because of our negotiations. Faculty lock in better increases and long-term contracts with their higher (over 72%!) membership rates. Without us, do you trust the College to offer increases voluntarily?
We’re here to make things better. The premium reimbursement happened because we pursued it—it wasn’t offered. Imagine what more we could achieve together. Join us for only $1.16 a day and help us steer our future and see what we can accomplish!
Sign up today and help us build a stronger future!
