ICYMI @1199prez George Gresham was a featured guest on @ebrointheam to talk about how vital it is for New York State to fully fund Medicaid. It’s outrageous that hospital care for low-income families, children, and people with disabilities is underfunded by 30%! #MedicaidEquityNow Link in bio to learn more!

Brooklyn unites for an independent review of One Brooklyn Health System (OBH) governance and progress on Vital Brooklyn goals.

Heat wave or not, Mercy Hospital members in Long Island were fired up the picket line this afternoon to fight for their contract. 1199ers there are fighting for the 7, 6, 5% increases League hospitals won earlier this year and for Catholic Health to make contributions to the Benefit Fund. Mercy Hospital, it’s time to treat healthcare heroes as heroes! #UnionStrong #1u
1199ers urge the NYS Health Department to appoint a receiver to take over Cold Spring Hills for the sake of the residents and their families. Benefits for over 400 1199 members are set to end on September 15 due to Cold Springs Hills’ management failing to make necessary payments to their health benefit fund.
Pete was 6 years old at the inaugural March on Washington in 1963. 60 years later, he came to commemorate the historic moment with a purpose to continue the fight! #MOW60
There’s something about being a part of a historical moment that hits a little different. #marchonwashington #MOW60
Today may be the last day of the 11 day picket at Cold Springs Hill Center, but our members will not stop fighting for their benefits. Healthcare workers like Blossom need to take care of their own health before they can provide quality care to their residents. We urge Cold Springs Hills to do the right thing and make payments to restore 1199ers health benefits. If not, we urgently ask @nysdoh to intervene and protect caregivers and the residents they serve!
🗞️ Spotted on @news12li—1199ers making their voices HEARD loud and clear on their demands to their employers at Cold Spring Hill. Healthcare workers need healthcare to ensure they stay healthy in order to take care of their residents and patients. Our fellow union family at Cold Spring Hill are no different! 🗣️HANDS OFF OUR HEALTHCARE!
EMS workers are the first healthcare professional you’ll encounter during an emergency, and are dedicated to saving lives. Today, we rallied with EMS workers from NYC for wage parity, safety on the job, and a huge thank you to our elected officials for taking the time to speak with our members!
It’s giving ✨main character energy✨ @1199_social_cultural_committee’s Kiddie Band Launch and Fun Day kicked off their summer!
“Passing Coverage For All is the right thing to do for patients and providers and 1199SEIU will continue to fight for healthcare for all.“ Thank you, Nicole, for sharing your story and advocating for your community and patients to get #Coverage4All passed!
Even during wild fire smoke from Canada, this morning, our 1199ers rallied outside Long Island Care Center for a contract they deserve! #UnionStrong #1u #1199Strong
The Group and Greater Nursing Home 1199 members showed up and showed management what being #UnionStrong meant. Over 600 members of the bargaining committee across NYC, Long Island, and Westchester gathered in Midtown Manhattan to demand better pay, safe staffing and benefits. The fight is not over yet! #1U #1199Strong 💪
