State Worker Union Coalition Sign-On Letter

Hi all,

Member of the CAPS-UAW RTO working group here. I’ve created a reddit account to share updates concerning our fight against the Governor's arbitrary 4-day Return-to-Office (RTO) Executive Order (EO), and let you know how you all can join the fight.

For those of you that haven’t been in the know of the RTO fight, in July 2025, CAPS-UAW, along with other state worker unions, secured a 1-year delay to the implementation of the costly, unfounded EO that would force us into the office 4 days per week. That was a win that **WE WON* for ourselves. Now, we’re 8 months into our 1-year delay, and it’s time to **STAND TOGETHER* and **FIGHT RTO AGAIN*.

As of today, March 2, 4-day RTO is only 121 days away! We won once and we’ll do it again! To win this fight each and every state scientist (and other state workers) need to do their part. Over the next few months, we will be launching a series of actions to take part in to build our strength and show Newsom and [CalHR](https://media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExamxpNjJ6ZXpycGlveDBibXlncG93eHc4M3d1ajR1dDl0c292NmhpMCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/GrMRh6ukoIMhpkeTHM/giphy.gif) that they’ve kicked a hornet’s nest and we will not be rolling over on RTO.

Today, we need you to add your name to the [State Worker Union Coalition Sign-On Letter](https://form.laborbase.org/260557089872874) to tell Governor Newsom to RESCIND HIS RETURN-TO-OFFICE MANDATE. Adding your name to a letter might seem like a small action, but all of our names together makes a BIG impact by building our collective power through organizing.

Last year, we worked alongside our fellow state workers from SEIU 1000, CASE, AFSCME and other unions to oppose the 4-day RTO EO, and we continue to strengthen our solidarity with this letter. Together, we represent tens of thousands of state workers that the State cannot ignore!

Stand with fellow state workers against RTO and sign the letter TODAY.

Stay tuned for future actions!
