BREAKING! We just filed a grievance for the non-bargaining staff at SEIU who work tirelessly to support our members and working people everywhere. These staff members should have always been included in Local 2 and are excited to join! #UnionsForAll starts at home.

[NEA Staff Union - NEASO @NEAStaffUnion]

Today we were supposed to return to work after the conclusion of our 3-day Unfair Labor Practice strike. We were looking forward to getting back to our jobs and to supporting NEA members.

Shame on you! #NEA

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

Unbelievable.

After walking away from the bargaining table, #NEA management LOCKED OUT its own unionized staffers.

@AFSE_NEA members deserve better.
@NEAToday members deserve better.
The labor movement deserves better.

Unionized staffers at @SEIU stand in solidarity with @NEAToday union staff who are demanding a fair contract after working over 100 days under an expired contract! #UnionsForAll starts at home! #SolidaritySeason

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

Solidarity with our #1u family at @NEAToday who demand a fair contract! It’s unconscionable that labor leaders like @BeckyPringle, @LizShuler & @MaryKayHenry are using corporate tricks instead of bargaining in good faith with union staff at @SEIU & @aflcioguild! #SolidaritySeason

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

It’s day 373 of working under an expired contract for unionized staff at @SEIU. While we’re disappointed with the corporate tricks & delay tactics from @MaryKayHenry & @aprildverrett, we’re inspired by the #1u support from @SBWorkersUnited, @aflcioguild & more! #SolidaritySeason

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

Today makes 372 days that unionized staff at @SEIU have worked under an expired contract. We’ve marched & rallied alongside #1u staff unions like @aflcioguild & @AFSCMEusu to demand @MaryKayHenry bargains in good faith & ensures #UnionsForAll starts at home! #SolidaritySeason

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

Sept 1st marks A YEAR of union staff at @SEIU working under an expired contract! So we’re uniting with @aflcioguild, @AFSCMEusu & other staff unions across #1u to demand labor leaders like @MaryKayHenry live their values. Join our rally in Dupont Circle on August 31st at 12:30pm!

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

Tomorrow marks ONE FULL YEAR of working under an expired contract. So unionized staff at @SEIU are uniting with @aflcioguild, @AFSCMEusu & more staff unions from across the labor movement today! Be sure to join us at 12:30PM today at #SEIU HQ on Mass Ave. #SolidaritySummer #1u

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

Unionized staff at @SEIU have been working under an expired contract for ALMOST A YEAR! We’re doing another practice picket on Thursday at 12:30PM at #SEIU HQ in DC to demand @MaryKayHenry & @aprildverrett bargain in good faith for a fair contract. #UnionsForAll starts at home!

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

👀 @MaryKayHenry, that means stop the corporate tricks you shame @Starbucks for using and bargain in good faith with unionized staffers at @SEIU! #UnionsForAll must start at home.

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

The #1u movement works because unionized staffers at @aflcioguild, @AFSCMEusu and many more do! However, many of us continue to experience corporate tricks and delay tactics instead of good faith bargaining. It’s time for @MaryKayHenry and @LizShuler to practice what they preach!

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

We need @MaryKayHenry, @aprildverret and @LizShuler to practice what they preach by bargaining in good faith with unionized staffers at @SEIU and @AFLCIO. #1u leadership should NOT be using the corporate tricks we see used against @SBWorkersUnited and @amazonlabor.

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

.@MaryKayHenry's #NPR interview was full of inaccuracies. The facts:
We've had 20+ sessions & @SEIU brought the same proposal & reversed line item TAs for half of those. The wages offered are an effective paycut. Retroactive pay has been taken off & added back as a 'new proposal'

[Unionized Staffers at SEIU @UnionStaffSEIU]

DYK that @SEIU leadership spent 5 times more on consultants than unionized staff? And that their are 5 at-will employees per every unionized staffer?

We’ve authorized a strike to bargain a fair contract that invests in union jobs so #UnionsForAll can start at home. #1u

If you’re a member of a staff union in the labor movement or an ally who wants to ensure labor leaders don’t engage in corporate tricks and delay tactics when unionized staff demand a fair contract, you can join the coalition too! Show your support: https://t.co/5vl5ERyCWT #1u
