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

@nj.1199seiu.org
The nation’s largest healthcare union representing over 16,000 families in New Jersey ✊💜💛 @1199seiu.org
We will continue to fight for our immigrant family who are vital within our communities. - @1199pres.1199seiu.org
PRIDE is a protest! ✊ join our union in standing up for our lgbtqia+ fam on Sunday, June 28th at NYC's Pride March! rsvp: digital.1199seiu.org/Pride2026
Please note: our step-off time will actually be 2:15PM! (it will not be 10AM, as listed on the flyer)
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. ✊
"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.
We're outside #SCOTUS today to #ProtectTPS! The vast majority of those losing work permits and protections are Black and brown. This is intentional, designed to expand mass deportation. Its effects would go far beyond family separation, it would hurt all workers and weaken the economy.
Tamara and Cyrenia are 1199 MPOs who spoke at a press conference today in New Jersey's Congressional District 7! They emphasized how critical federal funding of Medicaid is to their facility and patients. (1/2)
No one should have to risk their life for a paycheck. On this Workers Memorial Day, we honor lives lost in the workplace. It's a somber reminder that we must continue fighting for workplace safety regulations. ✊
Reps @wyden.senate.gov and @pallone.house.gov are laying out the consequences of cutting Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act in a new report: Closed hospitals and clinics. Lost jobs. People going without care. Reminder: Health care cuts aren’t abstract. They hit real lives. #CareIsEssential
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 ✨
Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 💛 to our trans 1199ers, we love you, we see you, and we will protect you! ✊🏳️⚧️💜
Healthcare is the #1 worry in America. Meanwhile, they’re talking about funding a $200B war no one asked for and paying for it with even more cuts to healthcare people are already struggling to afford. Make it make sense. Learn more: seiu.co/4sa4tAr

To all our Bangladeshi 1199ers, we're wishing you a happy Bangladesh Independence Day! 💜🇧🇩💛
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.
This week, our members & staff were proud to attend Meeting the Moment: Building Solidarity Through Training & Community, a workshop series focused on Knowing Your Rights, community rapid response, and addressing the threats facing our communities. ✊ @aft.org @32bjseiu.bsky.social @newsguild.org
Statement from 1199SEIU on the Trump Administration’s illegal war on Iran.
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! ✊
we shoulda taken more photos in the fight against healthcare cuts, threatened job security, and a fascist government 📸
1199SEIU has proudly endorsed Analilia Mejia, a longtime organizer and labor leader, in the NJ-11 Democratic special election to fill the seat vacated by Governor Mikie Sherrill. Our healthcare union is honored to stand with @analiliafornj.bsky.social and commit our full support to her campaign. ✊
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
For generations, Native American workers have led movements for justice. We honor the Indigenous leaders who have taught us what resilience looks like and we carry their fight forward in every act of solidarity. #HonorThoseWhoCameFirst
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
