IMPORTANT (share widely!): Haitian & Syrian TPS holders remain in status for now. ✅ Contact your union rep if your employer attempts to terminate you due to the Supreme Court decision and because of the 7/10 date posted on the USCIS website–THIS IS INCORRECT. Find your local: seiu.co/FindMyLocal

We will continue to fight for our immigrant family who are vital within our communities. - @1199pres.1199seiu.org
After years of working, paying taxes, and raising American families, people with TPS shouldn’t be forced to live on a deadline. As we fight in the courts to #ProtectTPS, we’re also keeping up the fight for permanent protections and a real pathway to citizenship.
"Press coverage of cruel immigration policies often focuses on family separation. But loss of a trusted caregiver is a lot like that...Ripping that person away is like losing a family member." Katia Guillaume, @1199seiu.org VP, joined @jayapal.house.gov for a hearing on Trump's Attacks on TPS.
International Workers' Day is about recognizing what workers of the past fought so hard for. Let’s celebrate MAY DAY 2026 by honoring all the blood, sweat, and tears that got us here today. And let’s stay committed to fighting for workers’ rights as a united front. We got this. ✊
That's what I like to see! ☺️ Sending my gratitude to these 1199ers on Long Island for joining a political candidate screening. Thank you for making your union member voices heard in our union's endorsement process. 👏
With looming healthcare funding cuts, it's critical we elect leaders who will stand in solidarity with healthcare workers! That's why Long Island 1199ers have been busy holding hybrid candidate screenings to help decide who our union endorses. (1/2)
if ur interested in joining us next time, pls talk to your organizer or member political organizer today! 🗳️ (2/2)
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.
The labor movement’s history is complex, but our values are clear: uplift survivors and stand with them—fully and UNAPOLOGETICALLY. We are with survivors.
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.
It's Equal Pay Day. Women have lost ground for the second year in a row
The annual observance marks how far into the new year women must work to make what men earned in the previous year. This year, it's March 26, a day later than it was in 2025.

#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! 💜🇧🇩💛
CNA Sophia Colley is urging you to join her at a #NoKings rally near you on Saturday, March 28 to speak out against hate, inhumane deportation tactics and cuts to healthcare. @1199seiu.org @32bjseiu.bsky.social
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! ✊
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
CODE RED! 🚨 1199ers from across New York State are in our state's Capitol today to call for state action from our elected officials to protect NY's healthcare system! ✊
