At 1199, we know that people’s lives, contributions, and dignity are never temporary.
That’s why we oppose the Trump administration’s recent cancellation of TPS for Haitians and Syrians. In response, we’ve created an emergency fund to provide direct support to affected 1199ers and their families.

**At this time, the Bread & Roses Cultural Project can only accept contributions from residents of New York, New Jersey, and Florida. We hope to add other states shortly. In addition, we are not at this time able to accept any financial support from employers of 1199SEIU members or their agents.

IMPORTANT (share widely!): Haitian & Syrian TPS holders remain in status for now. ✅
Contact your union rep if your employer attempts to terminate you due to the Supreme Court decision and because of the 7/10 date posted on the USCIS website–THIS IS INCORRECT.

After years of working, paying taxes, and raising American families, people with TPS shouldn’t be forced to live on a deadline. As we fight in the courts to #ProtectTPS, we’re also keeping up the fight for permanent protections and a real pathway to citizenship.

International Workers' Day is about recognizing what workers of the past fought so hard for. Let’s celebrate MAY DAY 2026 by honoring all the blood, sweat, and tears that got us here today. And let’s stay committed to fighting for workers’ rights as a united front. We got this. ✊

With looming healthcare funding cuts, it's critical we elect leaders who will stand in solidarity with healthcare workers!
That's why Long Island 1199ers have been busy holding hybrid candidate screenings to help decide who our union endorses. (1/2)

The labor movement’s history is complex, but our values are clear: uplift survivors and stand with them.
March 31 and every day, we honor survivors of sexual assault: loudly, clearly, and without hesitation.

Equal Pay Day came later this year because women lost ground again.
Women are the backbone of this economy, and it is past time our pay reflected that.

It's Equal Pay Day. Women have lost ground for the second year in a row
The annual observance marks how far into the new year women must work to make what men earned in the previous year. This year, it's March 26, a day later than it was in 2025.

In just the first six days of the Iran war, the U.S. spent at least $11.3 billion and the real economic cost will likely be far higher.
Paying for an unsanctioned war voters didn’t ask for is why you don’t have healthcare btw…
It’s not undocumented migrants.
It’s not unions.
It’s endless wars.
