Join 1199SEIU so together we can build a strong union and use our power to win higher wages and address the critical issues we all face in long-term care:
The pandemic has changed the way we work, meet and live. Since we can’t meet in person due to the health crisis, let’s connect virtually every Wednesday evening to discuss issues that impact our workplace, jobs and patients. Whether you’re concerned about staffing levels, grievances, pay, PPE or other issues, your union is here for you. Make plans to join us online or by phone on Wednesdays.
Purpose: Enrich the connections between RNs by providing a program that is beneficial to mentors and mentees.
New York, NY – The League of Voluntary Hospitals and Homes of New York (the League) and 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East (1199SEIU) today announced a new three-year collective bargaining agreement that increases wages, provides recognition pay, and adds Juneteenth as a new legal holiday.
1979 was the eleventh straight year that New York City’s labor movement had failed to sponsor a Labor Day parade. That year,1199 decided to help fill that void. The Union’s Bread and Roses Program (B&R) hosted the first annual New York Labor Day Street Fair. The idea was to celebrate the achievement of the working class while having fun. “A good union doesn’t have to be dull,” B&R founder and director, Moe Foner, often declared.
