The organizing power of Black workers during Reconstruction created a blueprint for civil rights & labor reforms that’s been carried forward for generations. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor that legacy by confronting today’s attacks on diversity & continuing the fight for justice & worker power.

Our new Providence St. Vincent members represented SEIU 49 at the @jwjpdx.bsky.social’s annual Faith Labor Breakfast! This year's theme was Standing Together with Our Immigrant Neighbors.

During #BlackHistoryMonth, we recognize leaders shaping history in the fights happening today. SEIU’s first Black woman president, April Verrett, is leading the fight for justice by confronting inequality and attacks on our civil liberties head-on.

Today, @mnaflcio.org, union members, and other Minnesotans marched to call for an end to ICE in our communities, justice for Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, and investments to help workers and neighborhoods recover and rebuild. Minnesotans demand accountability now. #ICEOut

Organizing works. @seiu49.bsky.social added 1,500 workers last year alone, winning real protections for healthcare, janitorial & security workers. As divide & conquer tactics ramp up, SEIU leadership is standing with workers on the job & in the streets. #UnionStrong Learn more: seiu.co/3ZFbY6u

Building on a legacy of resistance, Black labor activists continue to make history today, fighting for fair wages and equity across race and industry. With civil rights under attack, we stand united to resist erasure and defend our collective power. #BlackHistoryMonth

In 2025, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet successfully avoided over $50 BILLION in taxes. Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” these corporations paid their lowest tax rate in YEARS. They dine & dash while working people are left to foot the bill.

Want to stand with the baristas fighting for a better future at the world's largest coffee company? It's easy: Stop buying Starbucks and delete the app. ✊

Workers are seeing prices skyrocket on rent, groceries, utilities and more. We’re fighting to pay the bills while corporations make even more money. Enough is enough. A union contract is how we start to level the playing field and get our fair share.

People showed up today in Portland to say loud and clear: ICE does not belong in our workplaces. Union members and community allies took action at Target to demand 4th Amendment workplaces—where workers are protected, unlawful entry is denied, and dignity on the job is non-negotiable. #ICEout

TODAY, AT NOON—Join our action at the Target by PDX (9401 NE Cascades Pkwy, Portland)! www.seiu49.org/ice-out We're calling on SEIU members, labor, and community to come out and show support with Minnesota by demanding Target take a stand and stop collaborating with ICE.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by doing more than remembering his words—we commit to advancing his vision. A vision of justice, dignity, & opportunity for working people. Through solidarity & collective action, we can build a future that truly delivers for all working families. ✊💜 #MLKDay

JPMorgan Chase rakes in billions while janitors at M Financial Plaza are told to accept less. That’s not “business”—that’s greed. We showed up in #PearlDistrict to demand what working people deserve: fair pay, real benefits, & respect on the job. #JusticeForJanitors #RaiseAmericaPDX

Hey JPMorgan Chase—clean up your mess. You’re making billions & squeezing janitors at M Financial Plaza. Our community showed up to say what should be obvious: pay fair wages, respect workers, & hire union janitors. The richest bank in the country can afford dignity. #JusticeForJanitors

This year, we showed up for each other—at the bargaining table, in the streets, at courthouses, food pantries, & beyond. Our worker solidarity remains as strong as ever—let that carry us into 2026 as we continue to do great things despite the odds. #HappyNewYear #UnionStrong

Happy Holidays—from our union family to yours. To all the essential workers in hospitals, halls, and streets during the holidays, thank you for keeping our communities safe and healthy by doing the important work you do. #HappyHolidays #WorkerSolidarity

Rather than pay their fair share, the ultra rich want us so busy fighting each other we don't notice how little they contribute. Only together can we can hold them accountable so everyone can thrive. #TaxTheRich #WorkerSolidarity

This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we recognize Indigenous organizers, caregivers, educators & leaders who have powered movements for justice for years. This work isn’t history — it’s happening right now. And as rights, culture, and truth face ongoing attacks, we stand united. 💜

Won't someone think of the *economy*!?! </sarcasm> They want us to spend money yet the ultrarich fight tooth and nail against paying their own workers fairly. No wonder no one's buying the new iphone. #TaxTheRich #PayUs #workmeme

Indigenous workers have shaped our labor & civil rights movements for generations, building power, defending dignity, & leading with vision. Today, as attacks on diversity grow louder, we stand together to protect history & continue the fight for justice. ✊🏼 ✊🏽 ✊🏾 #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Today we thank all veterans—especially those in our union family—for your service to our country and your continued service to our communities. 💜🇺🇸 #VeteransDay

On Friday, members of our union Organizing Committee delivered a message to Portland Patrol management: "We're Forming Our Union!" Portland Patrol Safety Response Team members keep passengers safe on public transit and provide assistance to those in need.

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a final court order blocking National Guard deployment! Today's ruling is a huge victory for Oregon. The courts are holding this administration accountable to the truth and the rule of law.

This Native American Heritage Month, we’re celebrating Native union members whose strength and solidarity keep our workplaces and communities strong. Together, we rise for fairness and respect for all workers. ✊💜 #NativeHeritageMonth #UnionStrong #Solidarity

💜 It’s Medical Assistant Recognition Week! 💜 MAs are the heart of our healthcare system—keeping clinics running smoothly, and supporting providers so patients get the attention they deserve. Today and every day, we celebrate the MAs who show up with skill, compassion, and dedication. 💪🏽💉#MARWeek

When you know your rights, it's harder for anyone to boss you around. #WorkMemes #UnionMemes

This is bigger than politics. The Trump admin has disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil liberties, & slashed services—while enriching billionaires. This is an attack on all people—white, Black, brown, AAPI, citizen or not. Oct 18: We rise to say #NoKings. seiu.co/OCT18

This #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the Native leaders and union activists who fight for dignity, fair pay, and justice on the job—continuing generations of resistance to exploitation. Solidarity means following their example: standing together for a future where all working people thrive.

Billionaires ruining America as they: ✔️ Hoard our nation's wealth & try to convince us immigrants are somehow the reason things are unaffordable ✔️ Destroy safety nets for millions of families like food stamps, healthcare, & affordable housing ✔️ Attempt to bust our unions to line their pockets

When workers come together across industries to form our unions, we can overcome the divisions pedaled by billionaires and build a better America. #FamiliesFirst #SolidaritySeason

We're getting into the spirit... OF SOLIDARITY! #SpookySeason #SolidaritySeason

During a global pandemic, cleaning staff were on the frontlines ensuring other essential workers who kept showing up for work had safe & clean places to work—often at a risk to themselves & their families. For #NationalCustodianDay we recognize their contribution & hard work in our day-to-day lives.

It's unbelievable when the people who live off our work are telling us they can't pay us more. #FamiliesFirst #TaxTheRich

They call it ‘shared sacrifice’ — but only workers are asked to sacrifice. #CorporateGreed #Workmeme #WorkersOverWealth

Underpaid, overworked, undervalued — that’s not just a boss problem, that’s a workplace problem. A union is the solution. #FamiliesFirst #Greedflation #Workmeme

It's about getting what we deserve, not SCRAPS! #Union #workmeme
