Contract negotiations have started for 34,000 New York City doorpersons, porters, handypersons, supers and resident managers who maintain 600,000 households. We are ready to fight for our futures.

1,100 @32BJSEIU NYC Residential members have already volunteered to be STRIKE Captains.
 Next week, labor contract negotiations launch for 34,000 doorpersons, porters, handypersons, supers and resident managers across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

Congrats to Rose Byrne, lead in "If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You," but if we had a decent contract proposal for @harvard.edu's 800+ custodians, we wouldn't have been outside Byrne's Hasty Pudding roast at Farkas Hall on Friday, asking fans to sign this bit.ly/32bj-harvard...

Today, we fondly remember Rev. Jesse Jackson, not only as a Civil Rights’ leader who stood beside Martin Luther King Jr., but as an ally who stood alongside 32BJ cleaners during their 4-year strike starting in 1996 at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Rest in Power, Rev. Jackson. #BlackHistoryMonth

34,000 residential building service workers in NYC will be negotiating a bedrock labor contract this spring. The contract is a lifeline for workers like Liridon Dautaj, a Central Park West doorman, who set up two neighbors in the building where he works. Happy #vday! nypost.com/2026/02/12/r...

Two days until Temporary Protected Status for Haiti expires! For "Jerome" and countless families who’ve built their lives here, this means losing income and possible family separation. Over 260,000 U.S. citizen children live with TPS holders. Take action! Call Congress: 1-888-204-8329 #TPSjustice

Urgent! Our families, communities, and economy are all at risk. Without action, more than 350,000 Haitians could lose their jobs & deportation protections. Your representative must sign on to the discharge petition to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. Call 1-888-204-8329 #TPSjustice

BREAKING: New York City Enacts First Private Sector Wage Law Since 1964 The Aland Etienne Safety and Security Act sets new minimum wage, benefits, paid vacation and paid holiday standards for 60,000 NYC private sector security officers!

Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of people came together to end the violence and cruelty ICE has brought to our cities, particularly Minneapolis. We have seen families separated, young and old taken from their communities. Today, they shot and killed another person. This must stop.

Boston-based 32BJ members and staff were proud to be part of last night's inaugural festivities for @mayorwu.boston.gov , and to have supported her overwhelming re-election, proving Boston welcomes workers, immigrants and everyone!

New York City Council has passed historic legislation uplifting security officers across the city! Learn more: www.seiu32bj.org/aland-etienn...

BREAKING: New York City Council has just passed legislation guaranteeing wage, benefit, and paid time off standards for all private security officers in the city!

This Thanksgiving, janitors at 381 & 373 Park Ave S in Manhattan are STRESSED after Planned Building Services took over their worksite and they lost their immigration legal benefits, life-saving health benefits. Planned also cut wages 26%! www.work-bites.com/view-all/32b...

After a seven-year campaign, we couldn't be prouder of this moment🔔 After reaching a historic agreement that creates a path for unionization for the CT fast-food industry, the team wrapped up its week-long effort to sign up service plaza workers in I-95, I-395, & I-15 for union cards!

Thayer Academy janitor David Galeano and Harvard custodian Sammy Perez were among the 32BJ members who knocked on doors with @seiu1199nw.bsky.social and @seiu509.bsky.social in East Boston for city council candidates Henry Santana, Julia Mejia, Ruhzee Louijeune and Gabriela Coletta Zapata.

VICTORY! 📷 SEIU 512 members in Fairfax County have voted to ratify their historic first union contract with a 99.9% majority- a massive victory for over 11,000 public service workers. This is what solidarity looks like! #FairfaxCounty #UnionsForAll #Victory

We stand with David!

Today, unjust charges were filed against SEIU USWW President David Huerta, arrested while peacefully exercising his constitutional rights at an LA ICE raid. SEIU members will not be silenced when our communities and rights are under attack. Our statement: www.seiu.org/2025/10/char...

"Have you heard of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social?” @32bjseiu.bsky.social volunteers have been calling thousands of their neighbors every week, to elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and win a more affordable NYC!

Early voting for the General Election starts in just 10 days! Confirm your early voting location and hours to make sure you’re vote ready: findmypollsite.vote.nyc #NYCLaborVotes

The Aland Etienne Safety and Security Act is about more than policy — it’s about people. Named after Aland Etienne, a heroic security officer who gave his life protecting others, this bill would set real standards to keep every New Yorker safer. #HonorAlandEtienne #StandForSecurity

New York City deserves a mayor who will fight for those of us who labor every single hour of the day! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Aland Etienne, a proud @32bjseiu.bsky.social member, cared deeply about his city and put his life on the line to protect New Yorkers. I’m proud to introduce the Aland Etienne Safety & Security Act to ensure security officers have the fair pay, support, and training they've always deserved.

Today we honor the service and sacrifice of the 32BJ members we lost on 9/11. We honor and remember all who were lost that day and thank all who showed up in our city’s darkest hour. We remember them. We honor them. We carry them with us.  From the rubble rose resilience. From the pain, unity.

Members knocked on East Boston voters' doors this weekend to support Mayor Wu, and City Councilors Coletta Zapata, Louijeune, Mejia and Santana before Tuesday's election! @wutrain.bsky.social @juliaforboston.bsky.social @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social @ruthzee.bsky.social @gigi4district1.bsky.social

Thanks to @MayorWu.boston.gov — our endorsed candidate for Boston Mayor — for coming out to speak at our District 615 member meeting today, and for standing up for the rights of ALL Boston residents "to call this city home."

A #LaborDay victory! The dedicated custodians at Molloy University on Long Island have ratified a new agreement that protects benefits and increases wages. ✊✊✊

Rise and shine, South Hadley! ☀️☀️ Dining and facilities workers repped by 32BJ and housekeeping workers with UAW2322 at Mount Holyoke are ON STRIKE for unfair labor practices today. Repost to support their fight to earn a living wage!

This #LaborDay, @32BJSEIU members are marching up and down the coast. We honor the dignity of work by: ❌ Standing up to Billionaires 🏠 Standing strong for Families 🚫 Standing Against Medicaid Cuts Labor built this country and together we’ll protect it! #32BJStrong

#LaborDay isn’t just a holiday—it’s a reminder: Without workers, nothing moves. Without a union, there's no protection. We’re fighting for dignity, safety & respect on the job—every day of the year.

Today, we joined the MA TPS Committee in denouncing the latest federal attack on TPS recipients; this time, calling out their latest appeal to overturn the decision that protects Honduran, Nepalese, and Nicaraguan TPS holders. We will always stand in solidarity w/ TPS holders.

We were proud to stand in Boston today with @mayorwu.boston.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and other civic leaders as the mayor answered a letter from AG Bondi demanding Boston comply with more immigration enforcement: "Boston will never backdown from being a beacon of freedom and a home to everyone."

To one degree or another, Trump's immigration crackdown harms all of us, including legally present immigrants like brave 32BJ member Daysi Rocha Cruz and TPS recipient Patricia Carbajal, as this sweeping @bostonglobe.com article shows. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/10/m...

Trump’s DC takeover isn’t about law & order—it’s about silencing a Black-led city & targeting Black & brown communities building power. From ICE raids to voter suppression, it’s all a distraction from his own crimes. We’re not buying it.

32BJ Mourns its Member at 345 Park Avenue, Slain Security Officer Aland Etienne. “A dedicated security officer who took his job duties extremely seriously.” @32bjseiu.bsky.social President Manny Pastreich released the following statement:

From NYC, Connecticut, Boston, New Jersey, DC, Philadelphia, and Florida, this Saturday we put #FamiliesFirst. Not billionaires. Not corporations. Not deportations. Not tax breaks. July 26th, we fight back for our families' futures. Join us: seiu.co/FamiliesFirst

Today we joined @nynurses.bsky.social, @32bjseiu.bsky.social, and NYHTC to rally in support of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for Mayor of NYC. NY is a union town and we are proud to stand in solidarity with Labor’s candidate.

This Is What #SolidaritySummer Looks Like! @seiu.org & @32bjseiu.bsky.social We Don't Play! #Unionsforallnetwork

Maria Elena, @32bjseiu.bsky.social member, has lived in Miami & worked as a custodian for decades. Now, she's joining a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's decision to end Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from certain countries. ✊🏾#WeMakeAmericaWork www.wlrn.org/immigration/...

Working people are fighting back! @32bjseiu.bsky.social member joins lawsuit against Trump regime terminating TPS: “I have paid all my taxes, obeyed all the laws. Why is the government trying to get rid of so many people who have contributed so much to this country?” www.wlrn.org/immigration/...

We will not allow the Trump regime to strip Black and brown workers of deportation protection and work permits without a fight! @seiu721.bsky.social @seiuusww @32bjseiu.bsky.social members are outside the oral hearing to defend Temporary Protected Status. #WeMakeAmericaWork #TPSjustice

We rallied outside court today as judges heard a challenge to Trump’s attempt to end TPS for Venezuela. But this isn’t just about one country—it’s a fight to protect all immigrant workers. @seiu721.bsky.social @32bjseiu.bsky.social @haitianbridge.bsky.social #TPSjustice

The Trump administration's cruel ending of TPS for recipients from Honduras and Nicaragua will harm thousands of families, communities, and workplaces nationwide. It must not stand, says 32BJ President Manny Pastreich: bit.ly/ItMustNotStand @SEIU

Like the Freedom Riders before us, workers of all races & places bussed across the US to Louisiana's detention alley-epicenter for immigrant detention. Meanwhile, workers were out at Home Depots sharing know your rights information with all. Workers will NOT be divided! #SolidaritySummer

In Boston, we joined the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance to rally for @seiu925.bsky.social member Lewelyn Dixon, a green card holder who has lived in the U.S. for 50 years yet faces a hearing in Tacoma today after months of detainment. #FreeLewelyn now! @seiu.org

We are at Delaney Hall today, alongside our community and elected officials, to demand accountability and transparency. Instead, we have seen our community and elected officials disrespected by masked federal agents, and the arrest of our Mayor Ras Baraka. 1/7

On #MayDay, from Washington DC and throughout the East Coast, we join thousands of working people across the country coming together to march and rally in the face of a national crisis declaring: One Struggle, One Fight, All Workers Unite! 1/

The orders would force local law enforcement to do ICE's bidding instead of focusing on public safety. SEIU's 2 million members stand firmly against this dangerous federal overreach that endangers essential workers who make America work. #WeMakeAmericaWork
