1199SEIU joined faith groups, peace & humanitarian orgs from Buffalo to meet with a rep from Congressman Kennedy's office. Our message to Kennedy is clear - co-sponsor the Block the Bombs Act (H.R.3565). American weapons should not be used to cause any more death and destruction in #Gaza.

Last night’s political action cruise aboard the Miss Buffalo was fabulous! More than 60 1199SEIU members from across WNY sailed into the evening with NYS Majority Leader & Assemblymember Crystal Peoples-Stokes who gave a fiery speech about protecting Medicaid & Medicare for our patients & residents!

1199ers at Corning Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare are celebrating their new 3-year labor contract! “We’re hopeful that the new higher pay rates will help us bring in new employees and keep our current ones,” said Heidi Bouton, Certified Nurse Assistant. www.1199seiu.org/news-informa...

🚨Tell Rep Claudia Tenney to stop the cuts! 1199ers & Tenney's constituents gathered outside of her office in #Canadaigua for a candlelight vigil, march, and speak-out to protest #MedicaidCuts in bill passed by the US Senate. #ThisBillKills #HealthcareIsAHumanRight #HandsOffMedicaid
