Who is ULU Local 100?
Local 100’s mission is to organize and represent unorganized service sector workers in the middle south states of Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, and allow our members to create a vehicle to allow them a clear voice and real power in their workplace and their communities. After more than 25 years as an SEIU local, in October 2009 Local 100 became independent again.

Local 100 Wins Arbitration To Get Aide's Job Back |

ReCheena Carrier was an employee of GCCSA for over five years. In November, 2009, she was accused of child endangerment because her Teacher had allowed a young student to somehow leave the facility and go home to her father.
Carrier was out of the classroom with five children teaching them a new lesson called "You've Got Mail" when the incident occurred, but GCCSA fired her anyway.
The Union took the case to arbitration and won. Carrier will be given her job back with back pay, which should total close to $9,000.
Carrier said, "I never thought I would get my job back, and I want to personally thank Head Start Teacher Laurastine Lane for testifying at the hearing, Without her help we would not have won. It felt really good to have a fellow Local 100 member testify and tell the truth. If there are three things I learned during the seven months I was off work, they are:
- My faith in God pulled me through this difficult time. I prayed every day;
- My Union stood by me all the way and they never let me give up;
- If anyone is in doubt about Local 100, my case should convince them to join the Union."
