🚨RIGHT NOW: We are lobbying in Harrisburg because PA families are struggling. #SNAP, #Medicare, & #Medicaid have all faced cuts. Our members are feeling this deeply. We are here to let state politicians know they need to step up and tax billionaires, and Fund PA!
2. Tax #BigTech digital ads. Companies like Google, Amazon, Meta, & TikTok make billions by flooding our screens with ads and selling our personal info. A digital tax ad will ensure they pay a fair tax for the profits they get!
HB 1678/SB 1199 would raise $500 Million✅
Tax billionaires’ unearned income. The richest people in the state make money every day from investments in stocks, real estate, and trusts, not by working. A modest tax on the income would raise billions to fund schools, healthcare, & housing for all!
Raise $3.75 Billion!✅
Bus full of @SEIU members from a coalition of locals in the Philly area! We are heading to Harrisburg to tell state politicians they need to #taxbillionares and #FundPA! We need the state to step up to backfill federal cuts to #Medicaid#SNAP#Pennie & other critical services!
Will you stand with over 400 cleaners, housekeepers, & grounds crew who are bargaining their contract at @PittTweet ? UPitt’s hard working employees deserve wages in line with the other universities, healthcare that they can afford, & respect on the job.
UPitt started off negotiations with a dime raise in the first year. Their current offer is below other large colleges and institutions in Pittsburgh.
Jeff Waddell, a housing cleaner, says
“It feels like they are taking food out of my fridge, and that they are taking away the quality of life from his wife who has cancer” when UPitt doesn’t negotiate a fair contract.
Show these workers that you support them by sharing their stories, and tell the university and @PittChancellor to agree to a fair contract now!

"We're broke all the time trying to live. To buy eggs, milk all that, anything medicine are you kidding me?"
Over 400 cleaners, housekeepers, and grounds crew are negotiating a new contract at @PittTweet . Right now UPitt’s offer is insulting to the hard working employees. They deserve wages that are in line with the other universities in the area, healthcare that they can afford, and respect on the job.

Last night, 32BJ security officers took to the streets to demand justice for Black workers. 57 years after #MLK marched w sanitation workers, most @MiamiDadeCounty & @BrowardCounty contracted security officers, don't get paid holidays for #MLKDay or Christmas. #RespectSecurity
🚨STRIKE ALERT🚨 32BJ Monument Chemical workers in KY are on strike tonight over alleged unfair labor practices. Workers warn company wants to replace skilled workers who are trained to handle explosive chemicals with less experienced staff! Picket line tonight! #UnionStrong
"Former President Trump spent his whole life looking down on and discriminating against black people." "How can anyone vote for a man who will cut social security benefits and raise the retirement age to 70? Or vote for a man who would make it harder for poor people to pay off their student loans?" said Barbara Cherry, downtown cleaner & @32BJSEIU member.
"As a Black woman this is personal. As a city Councilmember, this is personal. And, as a Philadelphian this is personal." said Kendra Brooks "We deserve a govt. that is active and responsive to the needs of the people across every zip code. That’s why I’m supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, because I know she will do just that."
Assistant District Leader John Bynum said, “Trump says he loves the black population and has done so much for us, including job creation. I stand here as a black man and a leader of 32BJ SEIU to say – “Donald Trump, you have done nothing for the Black community or the tristate area!”
Today, state and local leaders gathered at the @32bjseiu 1201 office in Philadelphia to respond to Trump's NABJ Interview & slam his Record of Failing Black Communities. Watch the livestream here: https://t.co/leHYf7wJr3
@PhillyMayor out at PHL Airport in support of @32BJSEIU. We are excited that hard working wheelchair agents, baggage handlers, airport security guards & other workers’ wages will go from $15.71 to $17.20 #whenwefightwewin
John Bynum the Assistant District Leader for 32Bj SEIU sending a strong message to fund our #publicschools and say no to #vouchers
“The time is now to stop looking the other way when it comes to funding our children in our black and brown neighborhoods. Every cent used to fund private school vouchers is a penny that could have been used to give a public school child a fair shot.”
