We are a national campaign of janitors, cleaning providers & more fighting to bring good jobs & higher standards to the industry. JOIN US! #JusticeForJanitors
We especially remember the 1985 Pittsburgh Lockout, when building owners and cleaning contractors tried to cut 600 @SEIU Janitors wages in Downtown buildings and we refused, kicking off the Justice for Janitors movement across the nation. 2/3
“We’re rallying in solidarity with the people in Minnesota, because we don’t know who’s next,” Badger-Aguilar, a public employee & chapter president for Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, told HuffPost. “It’s really all of us that are at risk here." https://t.co/dRK6cDH4eS
We can not allow ICE to ignore our laws, drag away U.S. citizens, tear-gas a 6-month-old baby, terrorize immigrant communities and invade our cities. It’s time to say #ICEOUT now! #Solidarity with #Minneapolis
🧵 Minnesotans are rising up. We joined community members as people from across the state came together to demand an end to ICE flights out of MSP and to stand with our Somali neighbors who are being targeted and torn from their families. (1/5) #DeIceFlights@SEIU
Nearly 5,000 security officers are fighting for a fair contract in Seattle & King County. @MLKLabor has sanctioned a strike if necessary amidst ongoing contract negotiations. #SolidaritySeason#StandForSecurity
Like the Freedom Riders before us, workers of all races & places bussed across the US to Louisiana's detention alley-epicenter for immigrant detention. Meanwhile, workers were out at Home Depots sharing know your rights information with all. Workers will NOT be divided! #SolidaritySummer

On the heels of a breakthrough city-wide agreement by Toronto janitors in April, @SEIU members working for GDI in #Toronto have ratified a “me too” contract this weekend— winning the same gains and improved standards as their Union siblings covered by the city-wide agreement 🙌
We’re downtown Detroit this morning supporting @SEIULocal1 janitors and their fight for a fair contract. Just like home care workers, janitors are absolutely essential. They keep our communities clean, safe and beautiful for all to enjoy. #FairContractNow! @JusticeforJans
DAVID IS RELEASED and with his family! He still faces an unjust felony charge.
SEIU CA USWW President David Huerta was assaulted and arrested while standing up for immigrants’ rights.
While we’re relieved that David is out after three nights in detention, we demand the Trump regime drop the unjust charge against him & end the raids! https://t.co/u8ZRS5QEAe #FreeDavidEndRaids
Military-gear-clad ICE agents launched aggressive raids throughout LA. SEIU-USWW Pres. David Huerta was assaulted, injured & detained while advocating for immigrant workers. While he has been released from the hospital, he remains in custody. #FreeDavidEndRaids#SolidaritySummer
