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. 💜

By selecting the name Leo, the new pope signaled his solidarity with working people and gave a nod to his South Side working class roots. We congratulate Pope Leo XIV, the first American and Chicagoan to be named pope!

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!

Every demand workers make starts with a “no” from management, but that has never stopped our movement from changing the world. Anything worthwhile is worth fighting for, and fighting for change is often a battle between those who can stand firm the longest.

There’s a better way. We want longtime community members to remain with their families, because when everyone is safe, we all thrive. We need a path to citizenship, not this cruelty.  #WeMakeAmericaWork

BREAKING: rideshare drivers are calling for investigative hearings on Uber’s congestion surcharge “mistake”. Drivers and consumers deserve transparency!

“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.

In Toledo, Local 1 janitors & members took action ahead of upcoming contract negotiations, delivering delegation letters to prominent building owners across Downtown & surrounding areas. Toledo janitors keep our city running, it’s time they receive the respect & pay they deserve.

As President, I will always stand with our immigrant siblings. Local 1 is a union built by immigrants, fighting for dignity, safety and respect. ICE has no place in our city.
