if u were to ask us what power looked like, we’d say it’s UNION WOMEN IN SOLIDARITY ✊💜😌 Happy Womens' History Month 💛 this March and always ✨

"To do better, we must TAX 👏 THE 👏 RICH!!" Shout out to 1199er Avia for being an incredible voice for healthcare workers and patients at Sunday's @socialists.nyc Tax The Rich rally with @sanders.senate.gov!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 💛 to our trans 1199ers, we love you, we see you, and we will protect you! ✊🏳️‍⚧️💜

The labor movement’s history is complex, but our values are clear: uplift survivors and stand with them. March 31 and every day, we honor survivors of sexual assault: loudly, clearly, and without hesitation.

Farmworkers Day honors the millions of agricultural laborers whose work sustains our communities. It is a tribute to their resilience, their history, and the ongoing fight for the rights of those who endure brutal conditions to feed a nation. #FarmworkersDay #FarmworkerRights

Equal Pay Day came later this year because women lost ground again. Women are the backbone of this economy, and it is past time our pay reflected that.

#NoKings Day isn’t a one day protest. We’re fired up and ready to keep mobilizing to protect healthcare and demand elected officials put families first. @1199seiu.org

This is what power looks like. Healthcare workers in Florida are standing in solidarity to speak out against hate, inhumane deportations, and cuts to healthcare and essential services. #nokings @1199seiu.org

To all our Bangladeshi 1199ers, we're wishing you a happy Bangladesh Independence Day! 💜🇧🇩💛

Happy Maryland Day to our incredible 1199ers in the MDDC region! 💜

Members from @hpae.bsky.social and @1199seiu.org at Phoenix Center for Rehabilitation and Pediatrics in New Jersey are long overdue for fair contracts—and management still won’t come to the table! 😤 Today, both unions united for a Button Day, demanding: Respect Us, Protect Us, BARGAIN WITH US. ✊

hey friends in labor, daily reminder that you are more powerful than u think ☺️ with love & solidarity, 1199SEIU

In just the first six days of the Iran war, the U.S. spent at least $11.3 billion and the real economic cost will likely be far higher. Paying for an unsanctioned war voters didn’t ask for is why you don’t have healthcare btw… It’s not undocumented migrants. It’s not unions. It’s endless wars.

spotted today: our member leaders, @1199pres.1199seiu.org, and @1199sectreas.1199seiu.org at the State of The Union at Montefiore Einstein where we locked in on the issues directly affecting Montefiore Einstein in this current state of healthcare.

Statement from 1199SEIU on the Trump Administration’s illegal war on Iran.

Eliminating a certificate of need for healthcare facilities may allow companies to cherry pick high profit areas and leave rural and urban communities without access to essential care. Tell Florida Senate President Ben Albritton to reject HB 693. Call 850-487-5027. #benalbritton @1199seiu.org

The healthcare workers of 1199SEIU mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, an extraordinary leader whose contributions to the labor and civil rights movements bridged generations. — Yvonne Armstrong, 1199SEIU President Full Statement: digital.1199seiu.org/RJJ-Statemen...

“I have a work permit in the United States, but that is not enough for ICE…just because you have brown skin, they are stopping you.” This is the reality under this admin. ICE is being used as a weapon of terror: pushing parents out of work, destabilizing families, & traumatizing entire communities.

Happy Lunar New Year, 1199ers! 🌕 may the year of the horse bring u great solidarity ✊ and red envelopes! 🧧😇

Shout out to the Senators who voted to block unchecked ICE and Border Patrol funding. This is what accountability looks like. No blank checks for ICE. 👏🏼

Congratulations @analiliafornj.bsky.social! Your grassroots campaign showed what working people can accomplish when we unite behind candidates who uncompromisingly champion the needs of our communities. We’re excited to be in #MejiaMode from now through the special election in April! ✊

1199ers at the Independent Living Association in Brooklyn are picketing today, demanding a fair contract with livable wages. While CEO Frank De Lucia earns over $330,000 a year, workers are being offered an abysmal .52 cent raise. That’s unacceptable!! Respect the workers who provide the care! ✊

Rest, heal, and recover. Times like these remind us that healthcare is essential for everyone. @1199seiu.org Florida members are sending our well wishes to the Florida Senate President, Ben Albritton! 💜 #WeCareForFL

David Huerta's courage in standing with immigrant workers embodies the best of America’s democratic values. It's how we show up for our neighbors, coworkers, & families. It's how we peacefully fight back as this administration turns its military on its own people. #JusticeForDavid @seiuca.org

1199SEIU condemns Trump Admin’s decision to stop classifying nursing and other healthcare degrees as “professional”. — @1199pres.1199seiu.org

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Happy Halloween, 1199ers! 👻 if you still need a costume, the scariest thing you could be today is a union buster! Aghhh 🫣

There’s no time for business as usual. ‼️ Those in power in D.C., who are pushing an anti-worker/pro-billionaire agenda are counting on our silence and inaction to allow their plans to succeed. But that is not who we are. — the Sept-Oct issue of the 1199Mag, will be hitting mailboxes next week! 📬

1199 healthcare workers stand with @newyorkstateag.bsky.social Tish James and the rule of law.

The Trump ‘Justice’ Dept’s indictment of @newyorkstateag.bsky.social is a blatant act of political retaliation. This is flagrant abuse of power and deeply alarming for our democracy. 1199SEIU healthcare workers stand with AG James as she defends herself against this outrageous political vendetta.
