V is for Victory! USC Shuttle Drivers voted to go union and join SEIU Local 721. This historic win puts them in the driver’s seat and will give them the ability to win fair pay, better benefits, and a voice on the job at L.A’s largest private employer.

After almost 9 months of challenging the @USC Hyatt house devmt, the LA City PLUM committee once again ignored the voices of residents today. 1st, they limited public comment on 14 items to 20 minutes, thus continuing to uphold exclusionary practices in the planning process.
