Dear Local 30 Member,
I am very pleased to be sending you this Local 30 Scholarship Fund application. Once again, the members of our Scholarship Committee have worked very hard to bring our members this wonderful benefit. If you, or a member of your immediate family is currently attending College, or will be this fall then this Union benefit is just in time.
Enclosed please find the scholarship application form, a copy of the rules, and other information about this program. You are welcome to send in one application for each eligible family member. Acceptance letter or school registration information must be attached to the application and submitted to the Local 30 office by September 30, 2016, to be eligible for the Scholarship drawing. Please be sure to apply as soon as possible. We will draw the winners at our October General Membership meetings.
With the cost of higher education at an all time high, any financial assistance will help. This is yet another benefit designed for Local 30 members and their families.
As always, thank you for your support of your Union!
In unity,
Walter Allen, Jr.
Executive Director/CFO

Good afternoon!
Last weekend the Labor Council held its annual Awards in Excellence Dinner honoring Labor Leader Lisa Fair (ATU #1309) and Union of the Year Teamsters #542 (Secretary-Treasurer Jaime Vasquez) and a number others who work hard every day to strengthen our labor movement. Stay tuned for a full rundown of the event (including pictures!) in our next update.
In the meantime, let’s talk about elections. We are just six weeks away from the June 7 vote on Prop I and several of our Labor Council endorsed candidate races. If you haven’t already signed up to walk a neighborhood or volunteer at a phone bank - NOW is the time. Here are three easy ways you get involved this weekend:
Thursday, January 23, 2025
Thursday, April 24, 2025
Thursday, July 24, 2025
Thursday, October 23, 2025
All meetings are held at 5:30 pm (PT).
Today, the San Diego City Council overrode Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s veto and OFFICIALLY PASSED THE EARNED SICK DAYS AND MINIMUM WAGE ORDINANCE! Their override means that the Earned Sick Leave-Minimum Wage is once again in place to help hardworking San Diegans who struggle to pay the rent and buy groceries.
However, our fight continues, opponents representing a small handful of special interests have announced that they are prepared to spend what it takes to repeal the law. They will be in front of grocery stores and other areas in the city attempting to collect 34,000 signatures to repeal the law.
To push back against this brazen attack against hard working San Diegans we need your help! Council President Todd Gloria, Irwin Jacobs, Mel Katz, Bill Walton and Barbara Bry kicked off the citywide campaign, simply called “Don’t Sign It,” to defeat the referendum against the ordinance.
Today, City Council stood up for 280,000 San Diegans who lack sick leave and nearly 200,000 low-wage workers who work hard every day and can’t afford rent and groceries, now its time to do our part. Here's what you can do:
