SEIU Celebrates Black History Month.

SEIU Celebrates Black History Month.

Black labor activism has endured because its history was protected and passed down.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we lift up that legacy. One that continues to guide today’s fights against inequality, exploitation, civil rights rollbacks, and attacks on diversity.

it's almost like people are willing to work for livable wages, AND people are cool with their tax dollars going towards something that actually benefits them! imagine that!!!

Starbucks is infamous for unpredictable, chaotic scheduling and understaffing.

In Los Angeles, we're urging City Hall to pass the LA Fast Food Fair Work ordinance. Workers deserve fair hours and fair scheduling from companies that can easily afford it!

Vibe Check: It’s 2/27/2026 and…

🏠 Housing is still unaffordable
πŸ₯¦ Quality food is still unaffordable
πŸ₯ Healthcare is still unaffordable

Yet, this administration and its MAGA extremists are gung-ho about cutting everything, except our basic costs.

The cost of living keeps rising, & airport workers are stretched thin. We make sacrifices like our own medication and we need a real path to $25/hr. @cityofphoenixaz.bsky.social, @mayorgallego.bsky.social

Trump Notwithstanding, America’s Unions Actually Grew Last Year - The American Prospect Only a pro-employer labor law is keeping millions of American workers from the benefits of unionizing.

Workers keep organizing because we know collective power is how we win better pay, safer conditions, and a real voice on the job. The system might try to slow us down, but it WILL NOT stop us.

Working Class Guy is calling it. During tonight's #SOTU:

No unity. Division is the strategy.

While we’re distracted, the real fight gets buried:

Healthcare gutted.
Workers & unions attacked.
Billions handed to billionaires.

Real Talk: Working people are getting priced out of our own lives. ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Rising rent, grocery costs, and everyday expenses force real sacrifices. Airport workers are feeling the affordability crisis like so many others. We have earned a path to $25/hr. @cityofphoenixaz.bsky.social and @mayorgallego.bsky.social stand with workers.

Union membership went UP in 2025.
Even with Trump trying to gut collective bargaining and kneecap the NLRB.

Because workers are choosing POWER. #UnionsForAll

Say it with us: ONE JOB should be enough. It should be enough to afford basic things like food, shelter, and healthcare. PERIOD.

Baristas at the Disneyland Resort have hit 100 days on ULP strike!

Going on strike this long isn't an easy decision, but it's also a necessary one. It would take Starbucks less than just 1 day's sales to finalize a multi-year contract with better pay, hours, and protections.

JUST. ONE. DAY.

AS IT SHOULD!

Every working person deserves a living wage β€” including fast food workers. Work is work. If you clock in and do the job, you should be able to afford the basics. https://seiu.co/4kEqAN4

A $25 minimum wage for Phoenix airport service workers is a win for Arizona | Arizona Capitol Times Learn about the struggle of airport service workers in Phoenix, Arizona, who are fighting for a $25 minimum wage to survive the cost of living crisis.

Shoutout to @repyassansari.bsky.social for standing up for airport workers! If airlines like American Airlines won’t pay their share, @cityofphoenixaz.bsky.social must build a path to $25/h for Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport workers.

Growing up on Chicago’s South Side, Rev. Jesse Jackson wasn’t just a name, he showed up. In our churches, our marches, our neighborhoods. I’m grateful for the moral courage he modeled, and for teaching us civil rights and workers’ rights are one fight. Thank you, Rev. Jackson.

Reality check.
60 MILLION workers would join a union tomorrow if the rules weren’t rigged against us.
Let workers organize. Let workers win.

The fight for justice did not end, it evolved.

A century of Black history is a journey of resistance, powering today’s battles against inequality, civil rights rollbacks, and attacks on diversity.

We don’t retreat. We don’t back down.

We organize.

STRIIIIIKE! While Starbucks spends millions on Super Bowl promotions & private plane flights for CEO Brian Niccol, stores continue to be neglected. Understaffing, low hours, partner safety, & inaccessible benefits continue to be a major issue, and union baristas are standing together to demand more!

Billionaires buying up every major news outlet and social media platform to turn them into right wing propaganda machines so they can keep those in power who won't tax their wealth SHOULD TERRIFY EVERY SANE PERSON.

Quick PSA: Most corporations don't use their tax cuts to create jobs, give back to society, or lower costs. They just give their CEOs more money.

Every day in Minneapolis, deportation flights are taking off, sometimes twice a day.

Don't think ICE is a worker issue? This asylum-seeking, gig driver with no criminal record was held without reason for 5 weeks. He was forced to abandon his car after being shackled by masked ICE agents.

This week, striking Starbucks workers in Philly joined an ICE OUT action at Target. Both companies are allowing ICE agents into stores and not prioritizing worker & customer safety.

It's time for customers to take action with their wallets and workers to act in solidarity!
