The Los Angeles City Separation Incentive program closed yesterday at 3PM. At this time, the City Administrative Office is reviewing all applications to verify whether or not we reached the 1,300 threshold. It may take some time before we get the final numbers, so please be patient with us. As soon as we get the final numbers we will post an update on the AFSCME District Council 36 website as well as our social media pages. So, stay tuned!
Thank you to everyone who helped negotiate this program as well as everyone who helped us reach out to our members.
To everyone who applied for the SIP, thank you! We know that participating in this program was not an easy decision to make, so we appreciate you doing so.

Several Maryland legislators have announced their enthusiastic support of Maryland Defenders Union decision to organize as well. You can view a downloadable version of this letter by clicking here.
To the Maryland Defenders Union:
The workers of the Office of the Public Defender serve the people of Maryland in seeking justice, liberty, and civil rights for indigent clients. Upholding your mission to provide outstanding representation to your clients requires that you can effectively advocate for yourselves and for them within and outside the OPD. You have determined that unionizing is the most effective way to achieve this.
I therefore support your decision to organize with AFSCME Council 3.
I support your efforts to speak with one voice on the issues that urgently affect you and those you represent. Organizing will allow you to speak out and act against racism and classism in the legal system, mass incarceration, and police brutality and misconduct. The union will give you strength in fighting for adequate funding for your agency and for the fair allocation of resources within it. Amidst our current public health and budgetary crises, it will allow you to effectively advocate for yourselves and defend those most vulnerable to these emergencies. I also stand with you as you seek collective bargaining rights for the attorneys in your agency, a right other state employees currently enjoy. Our state is stronger when workers are empowered in this way.
