We support the City of Santa Barbara’s General Unit in their fight for a fair contract.
We value the vital public services that these workers are responsible for carrying out. We ask that the Santa Barbara City Council respect their work as we do by providing adequate pay and benefits so that these workers can afford to live in the community they serve.
For too long, the lowest paid and most diverse workers at the city have not received an adequate cost of living increase. Given extraordinary inflation, there is an expectation for a significant wage increase for city workers to be part of the community that they work in and care about.
