About Local 800

We are a mighty group of individuals dedicated to ensuring fair working conditions in Los Angeles county.

But our mission doesn’t stop there. We also feed the needy, protect domestic violence survivors, counsel those suffering from mental health issues, supply resources for the intellectually challenged and their care givers, give job counseling assistance, mentor youth, ensure Holocaust survivors are treated with dignity, and provide quality daycare for children.

We Are Member Driven
Members vote for leadership, financial matters, and on constitutional amendments. Our volunteer Executive Board members are elected every two years and meet monthly via Zoom;  meetings are open to attendance by all members and are generally held on the third Thursday of the month. Contact us for Zoom info, or if you want to find out more about getting involved, unionlocal800@gmail.com

Benefits to Membership
Enjoy services and discounts on travel, legal issues, dental work, vision prescriptions, home/auto insurance, and more.

Our History
60 years ago three forward thinking Jewish communal professionals spearheaded a movement to organize their work sites. They saw that conditions would not improve, and were likely to get worse, if they did not organize for power on the job.

The One thing You Need to Know
Your Weingarten Rights guarantee your right to Union representation in any disciplinary meeting with management. The presence of someone who has your back at one of these proceedings can be the difference between keeping or losing your job.
