#### Oakland Reaches Tentative 3-Year Agreement with SEIU Local 1021

The City of Oakland and the Service Employees International Union Local 1021 (SEIU Local 1021) have reached a tentative, three-year labor contract that includes a 9 percent wage increase over three years (2.5% in January 2027, 2.5% in January 2028, 4% in January 2029) within the City Council-directed financial authority. It also includes safety and working condition improvements, an increased uniform allowance, and a total compensation study. The agreement does not include pension or health care contributions to help offset the City’s rising long-term personnel costs.

SEIU will be scheduling a ratification vote with its members soon; final approval of the contract will be scheduled for a vote by the full City Council.

**Background & Status of Labor Negotiations**

The City of Oakland has been at the bargaining table negotiating with its seven employee labor groups since March/April 2026, meeting up to 2 times each week.

Four of the seven bargaining tables, rank-and-file police officers, Oakland Police Department managers, firefighters, and SEIU Local 1021, are completed.

The City team is working hard at the bargaining table, with multi-year wage increases on the table, to reach a comprehensive agreement with the three remaining bargaining groups, IFPTE Local 21, IBEW Local 1245, and the Confidential Management Employees Association.
