The San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs' Association is deeply disappointed in Governor Gavin Newsom veto of AB 1383.

This bill passed the Senate unanimously and the Assembly 70–2. Legislators from both parties agreed that the people who run toward danger deserve a retirement they can actually reach. The Governor stood alone.

Deputies and firefighters don't have jobs that get easier with age. Asking them to work until 57 in some of the most physically and mentally punishing jobs in the state isn't fiscal responsibility. It's a recruitment and retention crisis we'll all pay for later.

AB 1383 didn't force a single dollar of new spending. It gave agencies and unions room to bargain. The Governor took that option off the table.

California can't keep asking more of its first responders while offering less. We'll keep fighting for the deputies who keep this city safe.

Gov. Gavin Newsom cited concerns that the move would not be financially sound; AB 1383 would have lowered retirement ages by 2 years and raised maximum accrual rates by .3%

Twenty-five years ago today, 2,977 lives were lost in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Today we remember each of them, and we honor the first responders, rescuers, and everyday people who ran toward danger to help others, many of whom still carry the effects of that day.
A quarter century later, their courage reminds us what it means to show up for one another. We pause today in remembrance.

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from the San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association!

Today, we recognize the generations of working people who fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, reasonable hours, and the right to have a voice in the workplace.

For the members of the SFDSA, those principles remain just as important today. Every day, our Deputy Sheriffs serve San Francisco with professionalism and dedication—often working weekends, holidays, overtime, and long hours to keep our courts, jails, hospitals, and communities safe.

On Labor Day, we are proud to stand with our fellow union members and working families across San Francisco and throughout the country.

Strong unions. Safe workplaces. A voice for working people.

Happy Labor Day from the SFDSA.
