DESCRIPTION:***URGENT: SEIU 1021 Members' Meeting***\n\nSaturday Aug 29, 1-3pm\n301 
 Eddy St @ Jones\nCommunity Rm at Tenderloin Police Station\nSan 
 Francisco\n\n\nOur Union will never be strong­—and we will continue to 
 lose ground as workers—if we the members don’t have control of it. And 
 we will never have control of it without elections.\n\nWe need an election. 
 And to have an election we need Bylaws.\n\nAs a group of concerned members 
 of SEIU 1021, calling ourselves Change1021, we consider this very important 
 because:\n\nRepresentation – has been declining in most areas and 
 completely neglected in many others.  Without Bylaws, we cannot institute a 
 more democratic structure where members’ voices are listened to, and we 
 also cannot hold elections and the rank-and-file will have no say on the 
 day-to-day issues of protecting our workers on the job.\n\nFinancial 
 Transparency and Accountability – Members are not involved in how our 
 dues gets spent.  Bylaws will institute financial transparency and 
 member-oversight of financial issues; and elections will let members elect 
 rank-and-file leaders with their values on financial transparency, 
 priorities, and accountability.\n\nDemocracy and Rank and File Control – 
 Members either have no voice in their union, or find that their 
 democratically-made decisions in our Chapters, COPE, and Regional Bodies 
 are ignored.  \n\nOur union’s Executive Board and Officers are appointed. 
 They were not elected.  At this time, members have no recourse.  Bylaws 
 will give members a democratic structure to make decisions and these bodies 
 will have true decision-making power and control over the actions and 
 resources of our union.  \n\nWithout Bylaws, our union will be pushed into 
 Receivership which means our union will have appointed leadership for 
 future years—taking away any hope of Rank-and-File control.\n\nCOME TO 
 THIS URGENT RANK-AND-FILE MEMBERS AND LEADERS MEETING WHERE WE WILL PLAN 
 OUT HOW TO MAKE 1021 STRONGER, DEMOCRATIC, AND ACCOUNTABLE IN PROTECTING 
 AND FIGHTING FOR ITS MEMBERS.\n\n\n\nTHIS MEETING IS CALLED FOR BY 
 CHANGE1021 for more information, call 510-649-9366 or 510-750-8757, email
