1199SEIU condemns the Trump administration’s illegal war on Iran, a conflict which has already taken hundreds of innocent lives and threatens to create yet another ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in the Middle East.

 

This latest regime-change war is an appalling betrayal of working people’s priorities. It serves the interests of no one except war profiteers and those who seek to distract the public from Trump's deeply unpopular domestic agenda of massive healthcare cuts, flagrant civil rights abuses, a growing cost-of-living crisis, and protecting the ‘Epstein class.’

 

As a union of caregivers, we know that the impact of war always falls on working people. We stand with workers everywhere in demanding an immediate end to hostilities and the restoration of diplomacy. We demand that Congress assert its authority to stop this unconstitutional war now and protect Americans, Iranians, and people across the region from further suffering.
