lately in @upstateny.1199seiu.org wins: Buffalo members ratify three-year deal with BryLin Hospital! Congrats workers! 🥳 www.wgrz.com/article/news...

The Supreme Court’s Sep 8 ruling gave ICE more power to stop and harass people who look and sound like everyday working people. But we have power too!🤳🏽We can record every encounter with ICE or federal agents and show that this is clearly racial profiling. #WeMakeAmericaWork

We can have better. We can have universal healthcare. We can have tuition-free college. We can have universal childcare. We can have affordable housing. We can have livable wages. We can have affordable food. We have to stick together & demand better for the working class.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Happy NYC Labor Day Parade, 1199ers! ✊ @nyclabor.bsky.social ✨

It’s time to #PayThePlayers what you owe them, WNBA. America’s unions stand in solidarity with WNBPA members as they fight for a strong contract that gives them the dignity and respect they deserve.

Congress is back in session, which means it’s time for elected officials to stand up to the Trump administration’s union-busting. Call your rep and tell them to sign the discharge petition to bring the Protect America’s Workforce Act to a vote!

1199 is proud to stand with our siblings in labor. On Sept. 3rd, we joined @32bjseiu.bsky.social members & elected officials as they rallied for a fair contract and living wages. VP La'Tenya King delivered powerful remarks in solidarity with security officers fighting for justice. ✊🏾 #FairContractNOW

High Road has impact. 💪 Hear from some of this year's High Road Buffalo students and partners about how the fellowship program has helped #CornellILR students feel integrated in the labor movement, gaining hands-on experience at organizations like @1199seiu.org and @workersunitednynj.bsky.social!

Healthcare workers made their voices heard across Florida. The message on this #LaborDay was clear - families first, not billionaires. #SolidaritySeason is just getting started. @1199seiu.org

August 28th marks 62 years since the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. 👏 #MarchOnWallStreet

Have you considered canvassing on a Thursday? zohranfornyc.com/events

How do we keep New Yorkers safe? By investing in our schools, funding healthcare, protecting jobs, providing affordable housing, and voting in leaders who will keep promises. What does ICE do for us?? They hide behind masks while terrorizing our communities. Girl bye, it’s time for ICE OUT OF NY! ✊

#DidYouKnow 1199SEIU played a pivotal role in the strategizing of the original March on Washington? 🙂‍↕️

“My son is not a Republican or a Democrat. He’s just an American who is extremely vulnerable.” Every child deserves access to care. Every family deserves support. Medicaid makes that possible. #MedicaidMatters

August 28th commemorates the original March on Washington, where we played an important strategizing role. In just 3 days, 1199ers will be at the #MarchOnWallStreet bc we know the fight for economic justice is intertwined in the fight for civil justice. rsvp! digital.1199seiu.org/MarchOnWallS...

Families First, Not Billionaires! ✊ 1199ers have #PowerInUnity, so join us as workers unite for the 2025 Labor Day Parade in NYC on Saturday, September 6th! 📅 Meeting time is 10 AM 📍 Meet up location: East 45th Street, between 5th Ave & Vanderbilt Ave 🔗 RSVP: digital.1199seiu.org/NYCLaborDayP...

Our @upstateny.1199seiu.org members had a blast at Saturday's Family Fun Day at Seabreeze! Shout out Congressman Joe Morelle @morelle.house.gov for joining us ✊💜☀️

Lisa, a health care worker and member of @1199seiu.org: “Rep. Mike Lawler told us he wasn’t going to cut Medicaid and then he did. Now hospital workers and nursing home staff are getting laid off.”

Great message that in under 2 min does all of the following: ✅ Shows the immediate suffering Trump's cuts will cause and why we must fight Trump unconditionally; ✅ Reminds everyone that Cuomo is collaborating with Trump; ✅ Highlights the frontline role of labor (here, @1199seiu.org) in the fight.

Peggy is a healthcare worker and @1199seiu.org member at a dialysis center in Brooklyn. She knows what Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will mean for her patients — and why we need a Mayor who will fight for New Yorkers, not conspire with a President who kicks them off their insurance.

Proud to stand in solidarity with Rockland Pulmonary workers and @1199seiu.org who are fighting for a fair contract with the good pay and benefits they deserve for keeping our community healthy.

Today we welcomed @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and Manhattan elected leaders at 1199 HQ to talk about the grievous threats that Trump poses to NYC and to all of our communities. Working people are uniting behind Zohran to fight for an affordable, welcoming, and healthy city for all!

We need a mayor who will fight for every single New Yorker every single day — not conspire with a demagogue in Washington who attacks our rights and steals from the working class to enrich his billionaire friends.

Happy International Cat Day to all our #UnionCats! 😸 Meow you doing?? We’re feline good because life’s better in a union 😌 Comment a pic of your union kitty below! 💜

1199SEIU, 32BJ SEIU, CWA District 1, the Hotel & Gaming Trades Council, NYSNA, PSC/CUNY, and UAW Region 9A issued the following statement in response to the Department of Homeland Security stating that they will “flood the zone” with ICE agents in NYC: digital.1199seiu.org/4flSGKk

1199 delegate Yan stood alongside Congressman Dan Goldman & Assemblymember Grace Lee at the Chinese-American Planning Council’s press conference to speak out against harmful SNAP cuts. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” threatens the wellbeing of vulnerable households, but 1199ers refuse to stay silent. ✊

@seiu workers rallied here in Miami and across the U.S. to defend our families, protect our neighbors, and fight for a future where ALL our families thrive. No ICE, no cages, no cuts. #FamiliesFirst @1199seiu.org

We won’t remain silent while cuts to healthcare, education, food assistance and anti-immigrant policies hurt our communities. It’s time for lawmakers to put our #FamiliesFirst @1199seiu.org

We’re mobilizing a movement to make it clear working families need #CareNotCuts That’s the message @florida.1199seiu.org Executive VP Roxey Nelson shared at our #FamiliesFirst rally in Miami. @1199seiu.org

In Miami and in all 50 states, @seiu workers rallied to say in one unified voice that we put Families First — not ICE, not cages, not billionaires. #WeChooseCare @1199seiu.org

The healthcare workers of 1199 are heartbroken by the death of our SEIU brother, security officer Aland Etienne. We extend our deepest sympathies to his loved ones and the 32BJ family— including the thousands of security officers who keep us safe, each and every day.

When one union gets lowballed, we all do and we’re not going to let that happen to either of us. Columbia’s offer to Local 2110? 2.5% a year. 1199ers at Morningside are also in negotiations, and we’re standing strong with our union family.
