SEIU Local 1 janitors, members, and leaders in Detroit showed up strong at today’s Wayne County Airport Authority Board meeting, delivering powerful testimonies, and standing united for fair treatment, good union jobs, and respect on the job.

Local 1 essential janitors in Kansas City were clear this summer: it’s time for the contractors profiting off the backs of working people to create sustainable jobs that support a strong working class. When working people fight, we WIN! ✊ missouribusinessalert.com/news/kansas-ci…

Local 1 VP and Commercial Division Director Robert Pawlaszek joined @AldConway, @RepKamBuckner, and Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller at @BOMAChicago Summer Civic Social. Local 1 members keep Chicago’s downtown clean and safe, and an attractive place to live, work, and play.

Make no mistake – by gutting SNAP, this administration is punishing low-income families and weakening a lifeline millions rely on. Nutritious food should be a right for everyone in this country, not a privilege.

LOCAL 1 VICTORY: Essential janitors who service over 150 buildings in Kansas City, MO have ratified a strong, new, three-year contract, with raises, more time off, worker protections, and more! Member leaders fought for a fair contract affecting 800 working families, and WON.

This summer Local 1 security officers are fighting for a FAIR CONTRACT with fair wages, benefits, job security, and respect on the job! Because #SecurityNeedsSecurity and a contract that values the essential work done to keep public and private spaces throughout Chicagoland safe.

ATTENTION! TOMORROW, SEIU, climate activists, advocacy groups, and members of Congress (who didn’t sell us out to the wealthy & powerful) are holding a call to discuss what we can do now that the Big Brutal Bill has passed. Register today: seiu.co/WhatsNext

SEIU Local 1 security officers protect Chicago every day - in schools, libraries, homes & high-rises. Yet they’re underpaid, undervalued & under-protected. We will no longer allow this industry to exploit Black labor. It's time for a fair contract. #SecurityNeedsSecurity

As part of @SEIU’s Justice Journey this #SolidaritySummer, Local 1 members joined workers across the country in a march for immigrant safety and rights in New Orleans, and the rejection of the Trump administration’s unrelenting attacks on immigrants. seiu.co/JusticeJourney

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!…

Notes from @SEIU's Justice Journey to fight for immigrant justice this #SolidaritySummer: Local 1 janitor Krystyna Galik spoke about immigrating from Poland with two kids, struggling to pay bills including healthcare bills and finally finding a union job with health insurance.
