The Largest Share Ever of U.S. Workers Now Have Access to Paid Leave There’s still no federal paid leave policy in the United States, but 14 laws now extend coverage to an estimated 46 million people.

We're so proud to have been part of the broad coalition that helped make Paid Family and Medical Leave a reality here in MN. No person should have to choose between their family's health and the paycheck that keeps a roof over their head.

Wall Street bonus bonanza The New York state comptroller warns of risks for the financial sector.

You know why things aren't affordable? Because of corporate greed. While housing, energy & grocery prices skyrocket, Wall Street bonus are rising. When those at the top say they can't raise wages and then increase prices, this is where the $$ is going.

Home care workers unionized 10 years ago: good for workers, good for their clients • Minnesota Reformer Has unionization helped the people who need home care workers to live independently in the community? Several indicators point in a positive direction.

Unions = better pay + benefits
Unions= healthier families
Unions = stronger democracy
Unions = collective voice to stand up to the rich & powerful

That's why we fight for #UnionsForAll ✊

Look out for ways in the coming days and weeks to support the St. Francis custodians in their efforts to settle a fair contract with the school district. The SEIU 284 bargaining team will continue to seek a fair settlement, but cannot accept the current offer as is!

With 96% turnout at our union vote, the group overwhelmingly voted to reject the district’s offer and authorize a strike. (No strike has been called or set at this time.)

BIG NEWS: St. Francis custodians w/ SEIU Local 284 have taken the extraordinary step of voting to authorize a strike after rejecting the school district’s previous offer. Increased wages are top priority & they need to see the district make meaningful movement on this issue to reach a deal. (1/3)

Keep Minnesotans In Our Homes!

We are pushing our elected officials to address the crisis facing renters across our state, but the House GOP is blocking it. Take 2 minutes to send a letter to Speaker Demuth + yr #Mnleg House to keep MNs in our homes: act.seiu.org/a/keep-minne...

This week @mspairport workers + friends from UNITE HERE Local 17, @mn50501.bsky.social & JCA went to #mnleg Capitol to support bills that would ensure frontline airport workers have affordable healthcare + fair wages so they're able to do their critical work helping passengers. (1/3)

A big shout out to our powerful testifiers (Osman, Tizita, Misrak and Ayele) and our amazing authors, Rep Kaela Berg & Sen. Jen McEwen, who stood strong for workers despite pushback from those in power who want to maintain the broken status quo!

These workers help bring massive profits to the airport and help MSP win all of the awards it gets, so it's time they have affordable healthcare and fair wages so they can care for their families! (2/3)

He brought those values to his previous time in office and now, as he is in medical school in his next step as a healthcare worker, he is once again running to bring his values to the Minnesota House. Go Hunter! #mnleg

We know Hunter will be a champion for working people b/c when organizers came to his door 15 years ago when he was a home care worker, he joined the fight & was part of the largest union election in MN history when 25,000+ home care workers formed their union w/ @seiuhcmnia.bsky.social.

SEIU Minnesota State Council is proud to endorse Hunter Cantrell in his run for Minnesota House district 55B!

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

Wondering why politics seems like an endless series of decisions that hurt regular, working people followed by huge handouts to a rich and powerful few?

HealthPartners Security Officers at Methodist Hospital to Announce Plan to Win Their Union with SEIU Local 26, Call for Hospital Leadership to Recognize Group

WATCH this morning's press conference: www.facebook.com/seiu26/video...

Today SEIU Local 26 Rideshare Drivers stood w/ allies to say we need to "Slam the breaks on Waymo" as we stood w/ Sen. Sen. @erinmayequade.bsky.social & Rep. Sencer-Mura who are authoring a commonsense bill at #mnleg that makes sure we're protecting MN workers & streets. More to come!

..and demanding action from those in power at the city, state & county level to ensure the people most directly impacted by the chaos of the last few months don't also lose their home. We will continue to speak out about the NEED for action because workers rights=renters rights!

Today is March 1st, and rent is due. For many union members & renters across MN who have been dealing with the terror inflicted upon our state by "Operation Metro Surge," the math just doesn't add up. Over the last few weeks SEIU members have joined others in speaking out.. (1/2)

Trump’s Assault on Immigrants Hurts U.S.-Born Workers, Too The research is clear: when immigrant workers are targeted, it threatens all workers’ ability to fight for better pay and conditions.

It's clear that the ICE attacks on our communities are hurting ALL workers. It's time our country puts workers first, not billionaires.

Workers in the U.S. understand we need #UnionsForAll to win the wages, benefits & respect we deserve.

Despite the deck being stacked against us, we're fighting back. Unions are how we build a real, functioning democracy, both in our workplaces & our country. ✊

“President Trump thought he could break us, but he was wrong. Over the last three months Minnesotans showed our country what it means to stand up to tyranny & protect our communities."

Poll: Trump’s immigration crackdown deeply unpopular in Minnesota Federal deportation efforts are also unpopular nationally, turning immigration from a political strength to a problem for the president ahead of the midterm elections.
