This is what democracy looks like. Today, SEIU Local 1 joined thousands of Chicagoans to demand dignity, fair wages, and justice for all who build and sustain our communities. The fight continues—together. #MayDay2025

My Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky never forgot her activist roots. She was a fearless fighter for workers, women, immigrants—all of us. She never shied away from good trouble when it came to doing what’s right. Thank you for your unwavering voice and service. 💜




More than 100 rideshare drivers with the Illinois Drivers Alliance gathered at the Illinois State Capitol today with one clear message: Drivers deserve the right to form a union. Let’s drive Illinois forward, together! #UnionsForAll




Proud moment for working families in Detroit! SEIU Local 1 is proud to endorse Mary Sheffield for the next Mayor of Detroit. Sheffield has always stood with janitors, security officers, arena workers, and working families — and now we are proud to stand with her.

Today, Local 1 essential janitors who have serviced office buildings throughout Kansas City for years rallied for better wages and a fair contract, and were joined by Councilman Kevin O’Neill KCMO, who introduced a resolution in support of these essential janitors demanding fair pay!






“These unregulated rideshare corporations are reaping millions in profits off the backs of Chicago workers—while siphoning that revenue out of our city.” - Ronnie Gonzalez, IAMAW Local 701 Midwest Territory Special Representative



Proud that Illinois Drivers Alliance powered by SEIU Local 1 and IAM Union are fighting alongside drivers to raise standards in the industry, bring higher level of transparency among rideshare companies and creating a pathway for workers to have the right to join our union.
