It is time, once again, for #SEIULocal1000 members to say: #DontBalanceTheBudgetOnOurBacks Are you or your coworkers wondering why taking the bargaining survey is so important? We need to have as much information from all of our bargaining units as possible before we go into bargaining.

🗓️ 2026 is here! We’re not just entering the new year — we’re entering a contract fight. Now is the time to take the Bargaining Survey at seiu1000.org/2026contract to tell us your top issues ahead of time.

Tomorrow marks the first full workweek of the new year! It’s a fresh start, and a reminder: Every conversation, every organizing meeting, every action we take this year brings us closer to a strong 2026 contract. Let’s build momentum from day one. 💪 #SEIULocal1000 #UnionStrong #2026Contracts

#WhatWereFightingFor Troy Nimmo saw a coworker unfairly denied a probation report — no explanation, no accountability.  That moment changed everything.  He became a steward to make sure no one else goes through it alone. Today, he’s a leader on our Bargaining Unit Negotiating Committee.

🔴 Red flag: Your boss scapegoats you for their bad decisions right around review time. 🟢 Green flag: You know your rights — and you have a union to back them up.

🗳️ Victory for unions! This past week, the House voted bipartisanly to restore collective bargaining rights to nearly 1 million federal workers.  ✅ 20 Republicans joined Democrats ✅ Undoing Trump’s 2025 union-busting executive order ✅ Senate vote coming next 👀
