LET’S BUILD A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER WITH 1199!
Across the D.C. Metro area and the country, healthcare workers are coming together in unions to make improvements in our workplace so we can deliver better care to our community.
Standing together, union members have won a strong voice to improve pay, benefits, working conditions, and more.
United, we can better serve our community and protect our futures. Fill out the form below to learn more and join us.
From Imaging Techs to Dietitians and EMTs, over 400,000 hospital workers have joined 1199SEIU and improved job standards, promoting patient safety. Together, we have won a strong professional voice and contracts to secure job protections, higher pay, ongoing raises, access to benefits, and educational and training opportunities for workers while upholding the best standard of patient care.
At GW Hospital, it’s our turn. Right now, management controls all the money and power for themselves. Once we form our union, management will have to share decision-making and resources with us, the people actually providing care each and every day.
This is a very difficult change for management to accept, and so often they will try to stop us from forming our union. We must stay strong and united, and we will win a voice for better pay, affordable healthcare, retirement security, job protections, education and training opportunities—and improved care for our patients.
By forming our union, we can join our peers at hospitals across the Mid-Atlantic who are already members of 1199, the strongest and most effective union of hospital workers nationwide.
Across the country, over 100,000 hospital workers have joined 1199, coming together to win a real voice at work and contracts that ensure job security, better pay, and improved access to benefits.
