The 1199SEIU New Jersey Division was formed out of the merger of the former SEIU Local 1199 NJ with 1199SEIU in October 2008. The New Jersey Division, with over 7,000 workers, represents the largest percentage of long term care workers in the State. Our nursing home members include certified nurses assistants, LPNs, Recreational Aides, Maintainence and Housekeepers. We also represent hundreds of Home Health Aides who also provide direct care to elderly and disabled individuals throughout the state.

Everyday, 1199SEIU members are continuing to build on our historic growth in New Jersey by uniting and organizing healthcare and home care workers across the state.
The dedicated caregivers of 1199 SEIU at Concord Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Lakewood Township have ratified a new labor contract following negotiations with management. 
A new labor contract will be adopted today by union members, following several days of voting on a proposal that will affect more than four hundred nursing home caregivers at long-term care facilities operated by Seniors Management North, Inc.
Approximately 1,300 1199 SEIU caregivers from thirteen nursing homes owned by Genesis HealthCare in New Jersey have accepted a settlement reached between management and the Union.
