SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West
@seiu-uhw.bsky.social
SEIU-UHW is a healthcare justice union of 120,000+ California healthcare workers, patients, and consumers united to win affordable, accessible, high-quality care for all—and respect for the workers who make care possible.
Does your union Executive Board look like this? Nearly 300 rank-and-file healthcare workers who are directly involved in the leadership of SEIU-UHW, from budget decisions to long-term strategy. This is what a member-led workers' organization looks like!
We can’t pour from an empty cup. We need to care for ourselves as we show up for others. The Caring for Caregivers videos can go a long way in building a strong foundation for our mental and emotional well-being. Access our Caring for Caregivers playlist at the link: https://bit.ly/4ux4aAW
At the L.A. kickoff of the California Billionaire Tax, healthcare workers, families, and community members stood shoulder to shoulder with one clear message: California will not accept a healthcare collapse. #CABillionaireTax

When millions lose healthcare or face skyrocketing medical costs, local economies suffer. Losing $100B in federal healthcare funding doesn’t just hurt hospitals — it ripples through jobs, small businesses, and communities statewide. #CABillionaireTax https://bit.ly/46yJcbp

The media says they’re fleeing a wealth tax. Except, they’re not.

Healthcare experts warn a crisis is here. Congress’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” cuts $100B from CA healthcare. LA Times: “People will die.” A one-time 5% billionaire tax can backfill the cuts and protect care. https://lat.ms/4amFfYK
Healthcare experts warn 'people will die' unless state steps up amid federal cuts
As massive federal cuts are upending the health care system in California, analysts and health care professionals are urging the state to soften the blow by creating new revenue streams and helping residents navigate through the red tape.

Federal workers are the front line of our democracy. If politicians can take away their rights today, they can take away any worker’s rights tomorrow. Tell Congress: Protect federal workers. Protect ALL workers. seiu.co/protect
Starbucks baristas have done everything right — organized, bargained, and stood together. But the CEO still refuses to offer a fair contract or end union-busting. If baristas go on a ULP strike, our response is DON’T BUY STARBUCKS. #NoContractNoCoffee
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. 💜

This is what people power looks like. From Oakland to LA, healthcare workers and communities rose up with one voice: no more kings, no more fear! #NoKings
Working families are rising together. We will not bow to corruption, billionaires, or abuse of power. We believe in healthcare for all, dignity for all, and a future that belongs to everyone—not just the wealthy few. ✊🏽 The power is in our hands. #NoKings #UnitedForAll
This is our moment, we’re united for all, and we won’t back down. #FamiliesFirst #SolidaritySummer
We’re working to build a future where every family has care, safety, and dignity. #FamiliesFirst #SolidaritySummer
Across California, we're standing up to the politicians who cut our healthcare to fuel ICE and further enrich billionaires. Signs ready, chants loud. 🪧🗣️Let’s hold them accountable! 🔥 #FamiliesFirst #SolidaritySummer
The Families First rallies are a reminder: we still believe in each other. Where are you showing up? Tag your city. Tag your people. #FamiliesFirst #SolidaritySummer
