Nominations Are Open for CCSF Chapter Delegates
Local 21 Delegates have adopted new Chapter Bylaws that merge our 16 leadership chapters into one unified CCSF Chapter. The new Chapter Bylaws can be viewed on our page here: https://ifpte21.org/chapters/ccsf
Nominations are now open for L21 union members who wish to run for an elected Chapter Delegate position in the new CCSF Chapter.
Delegates are to be elected by members in their Department, work together across classifications to bring forward issues & solutions in meetings with Department management, and hold membership meetings that focus on citywide issues (budget cuts, bargaining, etc.) and department-specific issues that concern our members.
