Members of UDW, other California labor unions, and a host of civil rights, religious and community organizations will participate in one of the largest mobilizations in our state's history this spring.
Beginning in early March in Bakersfield, we will “march for California's future” through the Central Valley all the way to Sacramento, where we will hold a massive rally in late April at the State Capitol. The march is designed to focus public attention on the need to reform our state's broken budget process and to ensure that education, health care, fire and police protection and other vital public services are adequately funded.
Since we have one of the largest memberships in the Central Valley of any union in the state, UDW will be a key organization in the march. UDW members and others will participate in activities including media and public outreach, organizing, and voter registration in the communities through which the march will go. Please contact your local UDW office or check back with this Web site for further information.

It has come to our attention that some counties are asking providers to sign a new form SOC 426 (Provider Enrollment Form) that
includes a question about whether the provider
“has ever been convicted of a serious crime or misdemeanor.”
COUNTIES SHOULD NOT BE USING THIS FORM.
If you are asked to sign a Form 426, which includes the question about whether you have ever been convicted “of a serious crime or misdemeanor" respectfully refuse to sign the document and refer the county official to All County Letter No. 09-78

At this moment of urgent need, the Haitian government – and the people of Haiti – have asked for help from the world community. Those of us who can must heed this call in whatever way possible. AFSCME is donating $ 25,000 in relief funds to the Solidarity Center's Earthquake Relief for Haitian Workers fund. In addition, we encourage affiliates, members and staff to go to the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center website at: www.solidaritycenter.org and click on the words “donate now." Please type “AFSCME” when asked for your union affiliation.
