1199SEIU POSITION ON COVID-19 VACCINATION

COVID-19 vaccines have been established to be safe and highly effective in reducing the risk of infection and preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death for those who become infected.

We believe that education should be the first strategy to promote vaccination, and we have focused tremendous resources on communicating with our members to answer their questions, address their concerns, and encourage vaccination. At this juncture, vaccination is not simply an option, it’s mandatory – and for good reason – because as healthcare workers, our actions have a greater impact on public health than any other workforce sector.

After all we have seen over the last year and a half, we owe it to our patients, our co-workers, and our communities to get vaccinated.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 1168 and 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East have reached a tentative agreement with Kaleida Health for a new 3-year collective bargaining agreement that will cover more than 6,300 union healthcare workers at Buffalo General Medical Center, Oishei Children’s Hospital, Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, HighPointe on Michigan, DeGraff Medical Park, and various community-based clinics. The tentative agreement with the hospital system was reached late tonight, following intense all-day bargaining sessions held this week by union members and Kaleida management, as they fought to avoid a strike. Details of the agreement will not be made public until union committees are able to brief all members on the agreement. Read More
“It’s inspiring how our Florida healthcare workers have put themselves in harm’s way to care for others in Hurricane Ian, just as they have for more than two years on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic. But it’s sad and angering that they face even greater risk due to a critical staffing shortage created by employers that put profits over people, and state leaders who allow this to happen. Read More

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Healthcare workers within the nursing, clinical, technical, service, and clerical departments at Kaleida Health, who are represented by CWA Local 1168 and 1199SEIU, have overwhelmingly voted in favor of authorizing a strike should it be necessary. Having already extended their contract twice after months of bargaining, workers are exhausted and fed up with staffing shortages that have increased their patient loads exponentially and compromised the quality of care. They are seeking a fair contract that will enable Kaleida Health to recruit and retain critical staff and meet its new safe staffing ratios as required by state law, so that patients receive the quality care they need and deserve.

Buffalo, NY – Nearly 350 Nursing Home Workers at four area for-profit facilities overwhelmingly ratified multi-year contracts late last week, while workers at two facilities authorized 5-day strikes in their continued fight for a fair contract.

Albany, NY. 1199SEIU, the largest union of healthcare workers in the country, has serious concerns about implementing New York's nursing home staffing law. For two years, the public praised nursing home workers and low-wage caregivers as the heroes of the COVID pandemic. Yet, they are being driven away from the bedside by employers providing inadequate wages and benefits. In addition, nursing home owners are not implementing effective recruitment/retention policies and practices. Consequently, they are forcing staff to work in facilities with an insufficient number of caregivers and workers to provide quality care. Read More

New York, NY—Today, 1199SEIU homecare workers testified at the City Council’s Civil Service and Labor Committee regarding Intro 175. This bill restricts the maximum working hours of homecare workers but is written in such a way that would cause major disruption to homecare services throughout the city, jeopardizing care, jobs, and capping workers’ ability to earn overtime pay.
