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. Find your local: seiu.co/FindMyLocal

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.

"Press coverage of cruel immigration policies often focuses on family separation. But loss of a trusted caregiver is a lot like that...Ripping that person away is like losing a family member." Katia Guillaume, @1199seiu.org VP, joined @jayapal.house.gov for a hearing on Trump's Attacks on TPS.

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. ✊

It’s next to a flag pole illustration in honor of International Workers Day 2026: May 1, 2026. Around the graphic is yellow font bordering each side, saying “Families over billionaires” repeated. In the bottom left hand corner is a gold 1199SEIU logo. Happy May Day!

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.
npr.org
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.

“I have a work permit in the United States, but that is not enough for ICE…just because you have brown skin, they are stopping you.” This is the reality under this admin. ICE is being used as a weapon of terror: pushing parents out of work, destabilizing families, & traumatizing entire communities.
