YESSS! 🎉💜 Huge congrats to the workers at Virginia Mason! This is what winning looks like.

This is what worker power looks like! 💪💜 Across job titles, across facilities—y’all are showing up together. Solidarity is unstoppable when the goal is dignity, fair pay, and quality care.

Without immigrant workers, the cost of care will skyrocket—and families will be left with no one to turn to. Trump’s deportation agenda tears apart lives and threatens the very foundation of our care system. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

We voted to ratify our very first union contract at Virginia Mason in Seattle 🎉💟 We took action, we persisted, and we won a contract that we’re so proud of and protects quality care.

They called it “beautiful.” But there’s nothing beautiful about ripping healthcare away from 16 million people. Nothing beautiful about billionaires getting richer while working families suffer. This is cruelty and we’re coming for every last one of them at the BALLOT BOX. @seiu.org

Don’t let the name fool you—there’s nothing beautiful about a bill that guts Medicaid, slashes public services, and hands tax breaks to billionaires. The “Big Beautiful Bill” is a direct attack on the working class. #HandsOffMedicaid #ThisBillKills

Let’s be clear: You either work for the people—or you work for the rich. There is no middle ground. This bill puts human lives at risk for profit. It’s not just bad policy—it’s an atrocity. And we have a duty to call it out and fight back. Loudly. Publicly. Relentlessly.

We stickered up as 1199NW healthcare workers across the UW Medicine system to say: If UW expects excellence, we expect care - care for our families, our patients, and our community.

With the Medicaid cuts the Senate just voted through, 17 million people will lose their healthcare, and it will make costs rise for everyone, all to give billionaires another tax break. Medicaid saves lives and we will not stop until every family has the healthcare they need #ThisBilKills @seiu.org

“The budget resolution passed by Senate Republicans today is not policy – it is an assault on working people...This isn’t fiscal responsibility — it’s cruelty dressed up as governance. ” Leslie Frane, Executive Vice President, SEIU Full statement: seiu.co/4lu9CQB

Virginia Mason Medical Center should serve patients, not line executives’ pockets. Add your name today to show you stand with workers and patients. www.investinstaffinvestincare.org#petition

Healthcare workers at Providence Swedish have been holding unity breaks & stickered up yesterday in preparation for our bargaining sessions this week. Our bargaining team leads with our values of solidarity, persistence, & trust while fighting for standard-setting wages, staffing, and safety.

Slashing Medicaid isn't just cruel—it’s deadly. Hospitals will close. Patients will go without care. All so billionaires can get another tax break? Hell no. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Every grave marker = a person whose care could be ripped away. We’re not here to mourn — we’re here to fight. #MedicaidSavesLives #ThisBillKills

These headstones aren’t props — they’re warnings. Medicaid saves lives. Cutting it will cost lives. #MedicaidSavesLives #ThisBillKills

Juneteenth is a time for celebration; a time for rejoicing; a time for reflection. It reminds us of the importance of our union’s fight for racial and economic justice. Black siblings, we honor your strength and celebrate your leadership. Black joy is resistance!

Our bargaining team at PeaceHealth St. Joe’s, including Ramon Castellanos, RT, hasn't backed down at bargaining sessions with management since our five-day unfair labor practice strike in May. We are staying united and are ready to persist until we win what we need for ourselves and our patients!

June is Pride Month — a time to celebrate the rich heritage, vibrant culture, and powerful contributions of LGBTQ+ members to 1199NW and across the labor movement. Despite ongoing attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, many of us continue to rise up, organize, and lead on the job and in the fight for justice!

“This week’s negotiations made it clear: Our unfair labor practice strike pushed management in the right direction on several key issues. But when it comes to economic proposals they’re still falling short…We’re disappointed," - Robin Growden, Phlebotomy Lab Assistant & member of the bargaining team

DAVID IS RELEASED and with his family! He still faces an unjust felony charge. While we’re relieved that David is out after three nights in detention, we demand the Trump regime drop the unjust charge against him & end the raids! seiu.co/endraids #FreeDavidEndRaids

We’ll be there. #FreeDavidEndRaids
