What Can We Win Together? Hear from 1199 Members:
“I am proud of our 1199SEIU membership. We stood strong and were able to secure a contract that includes a 15% increase over 3 years, health insurance with no out of-pocket costs, and On Call increase of $15, then $17hr. This was a tough win, but a win!"
Dawn Cholewka, Garnet Health Middletown, Surgical Tech
United in 1199, healthcare workers have fought for and won:
✓ Excellent benefits, including affordable healthcare
✓ Strong job security, including protections from layoffs and subcontracting
✓ Some of the highest wages in the country, with guaranteed annual raises, clear wage scales, differential pay, and more.
✓ More Paid Time Off
✓ Retirement security
✓ No-cost training and education opportunities to advance our profession
✓ Safe staffing
✓ Respect and a voice on the job!
“After we voted yes by a landslide, we carried that momentum into our negotiations with Northwell. Less than six months later, we have made real progress towards a contract that includes the 1199 Pension and Healthcare funds: the strongest retirement security you can get, and free family health coverage. Now, it’s your turn to fight—and win.”
Jesse McDade, Clinical Laboratory Technologist, Northwell Health Laboratories
