At last week's NYC Labor Day March we caught up with Avia, a member of @1199seiu.org to talk about what it means for workers to be fighting back in this moment we're living through.

But across the political spectrum, the labor movement has record high support. Workers trust unions to fight for them in this economy. ✊

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.
