💜 It’s Medical Assistant Recognition Week! 💜
MAs are the heart of our healthcare system—keeping clinics running smoothly, and supporting providers so patients get the attention they deserve. Today and every day, we celebrate the MAs who show up with skill, compassion, and dedication. 💪🏽💉#MARWeek

When you know your rights, it's harder for anyone to boss you around. #WorkMemes #UnionMemes

This is bigger than politics. The Trump admin has disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil liberties, & slashed services—while enriching billionaires. This is an attack on all people—white, Black, brown, AAPI, citizen or not.

This #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the Native leaders and union activists who fight for dignity, fair pay, and justice on the job—continuing generations of resistance to exploitation. Solidarity means following their example: standing together for a future where all working people thrive.

Billionaires ruining America as they:
✔️ Hoard our nation's wealth & try to convince us immigrants are somehow the reason things are unaffordable
✔️ Destroy safety nets for millions of families like food stamps, healthcare, & affordable housing
✔️ Attempt to bust our unions to line their pockets

When workers come together across industries to form our unions, we can overcome the divisions pedaled by billionaires and build a better America. #FamiliesFirst #SolidaritySeason

During a global pandemic, cleaning staff were on the frontlines ensuring other essential workers who kept showing up for work had safe & clean places to work—often at a risk to themselves & their families. For #NationalCustodianDay we recognize their contribution & hard work in our day-to-day lives.

It's unbelievable when the people who live off our work are telling us they can't pay us more. #FamiliesFirst #TaxTheRich

They call it ‘shared sacrifice’ — but only workers are asked to sacrifice. #CorporateGreed #Workmeme #WorkersOverWealth

Underpaid, overworked, undervalued — that’s not just a boss problem, that’s a workplace problem. A union is the solution. #FamiliesFirst #Greedflation #Workmeme

It's about getting what we deserve, not SCRAPS! #Union #workmeme

They'll act like they don't know your rights, so you should know yours! If you ever think your meeting with management and HR can lead to disciplinary action, ask for your steward! #Union #WeingartenRights #workmeme

What a day! SEIU 49 members came together with unions from across the region to celebrate our strength, our unity, and the power we have when we stand side-by-side. From office, street, and hospital hallway, we know that #solidarity is alive and the PNW labor movement is putting #FamiliesFirst.

That feeling every workers knows when the boss knows there's a problem, they know how to fix it, and YET..... Then it's time to organize for change. ✊ #Unionize #workmeme

Unions do more than just improve wages and benefits. They build stronger communities and strengthen democracy. A new report from @epi.org shows that where unions thrive, communities thrive.

Imagine what we could achieve if more people had a voice at work.

Demand the EPA protect the health and safety of our families and our communities: seiu.co/4mfDP6X

Clean air and water should be a right all kids have access to, not a privilege for a handful of the ultra rich.

Trump rolling back climate protections like greenhouse gas regulations puts workers and their families at risk, all to pad the profits of the ultra-wealthy.

We demand a future where health, safety, and dignity come before corporate greed. No compromises. 🌎✊🏽

Always show love for our bargaining team, because they always work hard and sometimes have to stay late to ensure we win great contracts! #unionstrong #workmemes
