Mind boggling that a “nonprofit” hospital thinks they can get away with demanding $25M just to be excluded from a 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽’s health plan. Disgraceful and disreputable business practices like this are a stain on our healthcare system.

Our airport workers take a great deal of pride in what we do and the role we play in keeping travelers safe and satisfied… Without an increase in healthcare benefits, there’s just no way we will be able to keep pace with the mounting costs. brnw.ch/21wKwrn

The city's five district attorneys and state attorney general agree that my bill helps address the safety concerns we seek to resolve by licensing hotels in NYC. 👇 subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2024/0…

As has been the case for the past 10 years Jenn Shafran has left me speechless. Not just because she doesn’t let me get a word in (sometimes) but because her love, friendship and companionship is indescribably great.

Joined NYS Anti-Trafficking Coalition, sex trafficking survivors Council Member Crystal Hudson @CMChrisBanks42 @CnDeLaRosa and advocates to stem scourge of human trafficking in bad actor NYC hotels. Reports show 3,000+ people are trapped in trafficking situations in certain NYC hotels

As a City Council member, I introduced legislation to set minimum safety, health and worker protection standards in hotels. As BP, I fully endorse Julie Menin's Safe Hotels Act, which will expand on that foundation. Read my QNS op-ed to learn more: qns.com/2024/08/op-ed-…

New York-Presbyterian has long claimed to serve New Yorkers, but their financial actions tell a different story. Despite receiving millions in tax breaks — more than any other hospital in New York City — @NYPHospital is falling short of its commitments to our communities.

"32BJ represents 175,000 building service workers across the East Coast. Our members are janitors, security officers, residential workers, airport workers and many other essential workers. It is the power of our union and our members’ collective strength that has lifted them out

As we root for a clean sweep for the New York Mets today, don’t miss our educational ads calling on NewYork-Presbyterian to clean up their act. We will be playing ads throughout both games bringing attention to NYP’s high prices and #NotAmazing business practices.

It shouldn't cost an arm and a leg, to fix an arm and a leg! It’s time to stand together and demand fairness and clarity. Transparency benefits everyone – patients, workers, and employers. #AffordableHospitalsNow Power to the Patients youtube.com/watch?v=42lwi5…

NYC’s hotel workers deserve fair wages, safe working conditions, and employment free from exploitation. Some hotel owners don’t play by these rules—but it’s time we are treated with respect. Support the Safe Hotels Act.

It’s no wonder the Safe Hotels Act has earned the overwhelming endorsement of a supermajority of Council sponsors and is now poised to move forward. We thank Council Member Julie Menin for leading the charge on this crucial bill, and look forward to seeing it passed into law!

Hotel workers win!

Congrats to 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽 on a huge win! This is a well deserved wage increase for some of the hardest and most essential workers that make airline travel possible.

The affordability of healthcare shouldn’t depend on what building it’s delivered in. Capping the cost of outpatient services through the Fair Pricing Act will ensure patients have access to the same fair price wherever they go for their healthcare needs. nypost.com/2024/11/20/us-…

“‘Our members count on being able to go to their doctor’s office to take their kid for a flu shot, get an MRI, or an IV bag and they shouldn’t have to pay inflated prices just because a hospital took over that facility,' said 32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽's Manny Pastreich." nypost.com/2024/11/20/us-…

“'We cannot let Big Hospitals become the next Big Oil or Big Steel, with people being forced to pay more for the same basic procedure,' said State Senator Senator Liz Krueger, Senate Finance Chair and co-lead sponsor of the Fair Pricing Act." nypost.com/2024/11/20/us-…

.32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽 and the NY Coalition for Affordable Hospitals once again leading the fight for #affordablehealthcare. As a parent I want to be able to take my kids to their pediatrician for a routine flu shot without having to pay more just because a big hospital took over the building.

Anticompetitive business practices are allowing New York’s wealthiest hospital system to charge unjustifiably high prices. It’s time to stop putting profit over people. nytimes.com/2025/07/28/nyr…

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of Hotel and Gaming Trades Council. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.
