This latest regime-change 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.’
No war in Iran! US out of everywhere!
Statement from 1199SEIU on the Trump Administration’s illegal war on Iran.
Eliminating a certificate of need for healthcare facilities may allow companies to cherry pick high profit areas and leave rural and urban communities without access to essential care. Tell Florida Senate President Ben Albritton to reject HB 693. Call 850-487-5027. #benalbritton @1199seiu.org
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, who was legally blind, should have been home with his family for Ramadan. Instead, they are grieving his death after Border Protection (CBP) abandoned him at a coffee shop miles from home in freezing temperatures. CBP must be held accountable.

Peggy's family’s immigration story echoes the journeys of so many of our union siblings. People leave their home countries in search of a better life. Union members organize because we know we deserve one.
So in a time of rising authoritarianism and federal violence, what can we do?
We show up.
The people said Unions For All! 🔊

“I have a work permit in the United States, but that is not enough for ICE…just because you have brown skin, they are stopping you.”
This is the reality under this admin. ICE is being used as a weapon of terror: pushing parents out of work, destabilizing families, & traumatizing entire communities.

This is what accountability looks like.
No blank checks for ICE. 👏🏼

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle.
It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.
1199ers at the Independent Living Association in Brooklyn are picketing today, demanding a fair contract with livable wages.
While CEO Frank De Lucia earns over $330,000 a year, workers are being offered an abysmal .52 cent raise. That’s unacceptable!! Respect the workers who provide the care! ✊
