Fellow SEIU-represented members need your support today! Supporting each other is one of the hallmarks of a union and one of its strengths.
Some of our coworkers are on Leaves of Absence due to unforeseen medical diagnoses or family health emergencies. These absences have depleted their accrued sick leave, leaving them [and their families] at risk of losing essential medical insurance and benefits. Today we are asking our active members to assist fellow members through your generosity during their critical time. We urgently need 600 donated hours of sick leave or vacation to cover these catastrophic situations.
If you are retiring or leaving SFUSD you cannot take SICK LEAVE hours with you, so please consider donating them to benefit a fellow member.
It takes SFUSD 2-3 weeks to process your donation. Once you have separated from the District, you can no longer donate; your hours will disappear.
Your donation, no matter what the size, will make a significant difference in the lives of these fellow members. It will allow them to focus on their health or crisis situation without the added stress of financial hardship or the fear of losing access to medical care, so rest assured that every hour donated is invaluable. You can donate sick leave hours or vacation hours [a possible option, especially if you are near maxing out allowable hours carried].
Remember – your contributions are always confidential.
If you are able to help our colleagues in need, please complete the attached Google Form. You will also need to download and complete the official acknowledgement – SFUSD/SEIU Classified Sick Leave Bank Donor Declaration.
Your kindness and support will make a huge difference to our brothers and sisters going through tough times. Your ongoing compassion and solidarity are the backbone of our Chapter.
