Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by today’s mass shooting in San Bernardino.

While we don’t yet know the details of this act of senseless violence, we do know that each of our members who has dedicated their lives to public service will hold our families closer tonight.

Many SEIU 721 members work in areas very near to the site of today’s tragic events, and often visit the Inland Regional Center. Details regarding SEIU 721 members affected by today’s events remain uncertain. Regardless, those affected today are our colleagues, and the 90,000 members of SEIU 721 stand with them this evening.

SEIU 721 members are proud to serve the San Bernardino community, and we will stand with the community during this tragedy, as we do each day.

While our sense of safety in the workplace has been rocked, our commitment to serving the California public is unwavering. As more information becomes available, SEIU 721 will work with leaders to ensure the safety of our members, our colleagues, and the public we serve.
