New Study Outlines Path to Safeguard Quality Patient Care and Healthcare Jobs in Lynn

With any luck, as you read this, moving trucks are on their way to Washington, DC.

As promised, 1199SEIU is doing all we can to provide education and resources to keep our membership informed and updated about COVID-19, vaccinations, and the guidelines and protocols necessary to keep us safe and healthy.

While Florida has been a hot spot of the COVID-19 pandemic that has ravaged our communities and economy for nine months, the hardworking members of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East have served on the front lines, bravely fighting to save lives despite the dangers of contracting the disease and endangering themselves and their loved ones. Sadly, many have become ill, and some have died.

Soy un trabajador de la salud de primera línea y he visto los terribles efectos de esta pandemia de cerca, todos los días, durante nueve meses.

The 2020 general election was historic. President Elect Joe Biden won more than 80 million votes -- the most votes of any presidential candidate in history. Kamala Harris will be the first woman and person of color to serve as Vice President. Together, they waged a successful campaign that called for unity, science-based tactics to address the coronavirus pandemic as well as social, racial and economic reforms.

The hardworking women and men of 1199SEIU have been on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic for nine months. During this time, they have bravely fought to save lives, even through the fear of contracting the disease and endangering the lives of their loved ones.

1999 Was a Banner Year

Livingston Hills Nursing Home workers, members of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, and their supporters are critically concerned about the health of at-risk nursing home residents during the COVID pandemic, because the owner of the facility is intending to take away the health benefits of the frontline line workers. To that end, they are holding a candlelight vigil, urging the owner, Jeffrey Vegh to rescind that decision.

This holiday season, I'm more grateful than ever to be part of our union family with you. THANK YOU for showing what it means to be essential.
