1199SEIU New Jersey

@nj.1199seiu.org

The nation’s largest healthcare union representing over 16,000 families in New Jersey ✊💜💛 @1199seiu.org

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

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. ✊

a graphic showcasing dark and light purple ray beams in the background. Black font shows the phrase “MAY DAY” and “Dignity for workers” shaped into a flag. It’s next to a flag pole illustration in honor of International Workers Day 2026: May 1, 2026. Around the graphic is yellow font bordering each side, saying “Families over billionaires” repeated. In the bottom left hand corner is a gold 1199SEIU logo. Happy May Day!

"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)

A group photo of 1199SEIU member political organizers Tamara and Cyrenia at a press conference held in New Jersey's Congressional District 7 with coalition partners to advocate against federal funding cuts of Medicaid. People are standing together and holding signs advocating against the "healthcare heist" by cutting Medicaid funding.

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. ✊

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 ✨

a graphic for Womens’ History Month featuring a group photo of 1199SEIU lady leaders wearing purple and gold. They’re holding up union posters that say “We Are Labor,” “No Pension? More Tension,” and “MAY DAY.” The text on the bottom reads, “POWER LOOKS LIKE WOMEN IN SOLIDARITY.”

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

GOP May Kick 300,000 More Off Healthcare to Help Find $200 Billion for Trump's Iran War | Common Dreams

Congressional Republicans are under fire for considering more healthcare cuts to help fulfill President Donald Trump's request for $200 billion to wage war on Iran.

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.

“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.

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. 👏🏼

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
