Service Employees International Union: 2M working people united for dignity, justice and a better life.

[SEIU @SEIU]

Our heritage tells the story of where we’ve been. Our power determines where we’re going.

Latino workers are strengthening our communities, organizing for better jobs, and pushing back when our families and neighbors are under attack.

We know where we come from. And we know what we’re fighting for.

Our communities and industries rely heavily on the 170,000 Salvadoran workers, who work legally in America & are protected from deportation! Countless workers across the country continue to be stripped of their lawful immigration status, we will not back down in our fight for a pathway to citizenship. https://t.co/JkwM03GlWY

[SEIU @SEIU]

Always remember, it doesn’t HAVE to be this way in America. When working people come together and win their union, it raises the wages for everyone across their industry. And when we vote for pro-worker candidates en masse, we can raise the federal minimum wage to a livable wage that keeps up with the cost of living!

JOIN US tomorrow for a conversation with members of @TheBlackCaucus and @HispanicCaucus.

🇲🇽💜 Latino Heritage Month is about celebrating our history, our culture, and the stories that connect us.

SEIU Local 121RN member Guillermo reflects on the significance of Mexican Independence Day and the independence celebrations of Central American countries including Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica.

These moments are a source of pride and a reminder of the rich histories Latino workers and families carry every day. ✊🏽

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Latina!

“Tuesday’s poll also showed Trump’s approval slipping on eight different issues: border security, immigration, foreign policy, tariffs, the economy, the war with Iran, gas prices and inflation.”

Turns out working people don’t want endless conflict, especially when they are the ones paying for it at the pump and in our communities. War hurts all of us. We want a safe and thriving future, not baseless fights with foreign nations! https://t.co/BRJ9a1d3ra

A few years ago, the McDonald’s CEO admitted that tough times for consumers can mean booming profits for corporations. So it’s no wonder why they’ve raised prices without raising wages for fast food workers.

We must continue to join together so we can shift this reality and ensure prosperity is shared by all, not just #GreedyCEOs and shareholders!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: McDonald's prices have doubled in the last ten years.

The profits have gone mostly to shareholders, who got nearly $40 billion in dividends over the past decade while customers suffer and workers are underpaid.

Here's how fast food is the latest victim of enshittification.

[SEIU @SEIU]

Talk about a slippery slope 🤦

What next?! Is the Trump admin going to tell working people to eat less if we want to afford our groceries?

[The General @GeneralMCNews]

BREAKING: Energy Secretary Chris Wright says Americans should cut back on driving to see lower gas prices, calling on consumers to reduce fuel demand.

[SEIU @SEIU]

Solidarity to 2,200 airport service workers, including wheelchair assistants and baggage handlers, who joined together in Boston to demand Massport ensure an airport-wide standard for employer-paid health care.

These working people keep Logan Airport running every day, but too many are being forced to choose between getting the medical care they need and paying their bills. https://t.co/Ly5gxz8mTU?

[SEIU @SEIU]

“Hospitals across the nation are struggling to find financial stability. The costs of drugs, supplies and salaries are increasing, but the number of patients who seek out care and pay for it is shrinking.”

This is what happens when Republicans in Congress gut a trillion dollars from our healthcare. Jobs are lost and families can’t afford the care they need.

Latino workers, organizers, and leaders have always shown what’s possible when we stand together.

We honor the generations before us who fought for dignity, opportunity, and a better life. Today, that fight continues, for our families, for our communities, and for the money, power, and respect we deserve.

The struggle continues. So does our power.

[SEIU @SEIU]

Hats off to the nearly 150 Doctors at two hospitals in Minnesota who are ON STRIKE! These @DoctorsCouncil hospital workers are now participating in the first walkout by private-sector hospital doctors in U.S. history.

They join more than 60 Allina hospice nurses who began a seven-day strike last week in the fight to win safe staffing levels & better pay! #CareIsEssential https://t.co/o7JvKSKfXC?

[SEIU @SEIU]

From Justice for Janitors to becoming SEIU’s first Latina Secretary-Treasurer, Rocío Sáenz has spent decades organizing workers and fighting for immigrant, racial, and economic justice.

This #LatinoHeritageMonth, we celebrate her leadership and the power of what we can achieve together. Still organizing. Still fighting. Still leading.

¡Sí, se puede!

[SEIU @SEIU]

Shoutout to the folks at college campuses across the country who are demanding their union! However, the Protect College Sports Act would disempower athletes, snuff their compensation, and bust their union-organizing efforts.

Solidarity to young workers hoping to follow other working people at higher ed institutions who’ve won their union at campus dining halls, snack bars, dorms, and more which resulted in increased wages, paid sick leave, and more! https://t.co/Shz5z6AyA3

[SEIU @SEIU]

The labor movement’s past, present, and future are all powered by Latino workers. This #LatinoHeritageMonth, we honor that strength and leadership and recommit to fighting together in a time when deportations, ICE raids, and unsafe workplaces threaten our communities.

[SEIU @SEIU]

National Voter Registration Day this year comes in the midst of extreme anti-voter efforts in states across the country, aimed primarily at Black and brown voters, low-income voters, and others who have long faced discrimination in our democracy. During #NVRM, we fight to remove the structural barriers to voting! https://t.co/ro5f0J30vE

[SEIU @SEIU]

For anyone with the Sunday scaries every week, you don’t have to dread clocking back into work! The power we have together in union can help ease that burden when we unite for #MoneyPowerRespect.

[SEIU @SEIU]

8% of households are going hungry. 16% of adults can’t pay all their bills in full. 26% skipped medical care due to costs. ALL while top CEOs bring home 312x what workers do. This economy isn’t working for us.

[SEIU @SEIU]

The Trump administration isn’t prioritizing working people. Enriching themselves, however…

Just last year, Pres. Trump more than doubled his wealth through crypto schemes, pressure campaigns, and blatant pay-to-play practices.

“America First” seems to be a cover for self-interest from anti-worker politicians and #GreedyCEOs. This November, we’re voting to change that!

[Forbes @Forbes]

Since joining Trump’s Cabinet, Lutnick and his family’s net worth has more than doubled to around $7.3 billion, according to Forbes’ estimates, thanks largely to Lutnick’s indirect stake in Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, via his 55% stake in Cantor Fitzgerald.

MAGA politicians are trying to redistrict us into silence. They want to take away our voting power. They think that if they silence our votes, they'll win. We'll show them what worker power really means at the voting booth in November. Working people will not be mapped out of democracy. If they come for our votes, WE'LL SEND THEM HOME. https://t.co/LBwYXJSfA9
