As previously reported, the SIU plans to relocate its San Francisco-area operations to a new union hall in nearby Oakland, Calif. this month. At press time, the tentative date for the new hall’s opening was July 26.The new building is located at 1121 7th Street. The phone number is (510) 444-2360 (a different area code and number than at the old San Francisco hall).
By mid-June the new building had been undergoing modifications to prepare for the opening and to suit the membership’s needs. The new hall is two stories, not including a basement, and is approximately 17,000 square feet. It offers more than 30 parking spaces next to the building, with additional parking available nearby.
The Oakland hall is 9 miles from the union’s current San Francisco hall, which is located at 350 Fremont Street.
