Congratulations to our President @geniekastrup on receiving the prestigious Rerum Novarum for Labor Award!
Rooted in faith and the dignity of work, Genie's leadership reflects a lifelong commitment to justice, stronger communities and a better future for working families.
40 member leaders who work for Prospect Airport Services + Unifi Aviation held their annual steward training: two days building solidarity, learning about their rights & responsibilities, and developing their organizing skills. Congrats to these new stewards on their leadership!
Happy #PolishAmericanHeritageMonth! SEIU Local 1 janitor Aneta Jargilo honors her Polish heritage, and shares her challenges and well as her hopes for the upcoming janitorial contract campaign. We may come from different backgrounds, but we all want to live and work in dignity!
SEIU Local 1 mourns the loss of Dolores Huerta, a fearless labor and civil rights leader who dedicated her life to organizing workers and fighting for justice.
We honor her legacy by continuing the fight for dignity and power for all working people.
¡Sí, se puede! 💜

Last week wasn’t just about an endorsement. It was about the janitors, school workers, and service workers who keep Chicago running, and who are done settling for less.
Working families are demanding better. Standing alongside @SEIULocal1 and @SEIULocal73, we’re building a coalition that will deliver it. This is just the beginning 👉🏻Join us. 💜

An exciting day for @SEIULocal1 as we endorse @Giannoulias for Mayor of Chicago! Working families are tired of barely scraping by and worrying about their job security. They deserve a City Hall that puts them first.
Alexi is the Mayor that will work for working people!
