While much has been learned about the Coronavirus (COVID-19), there is still a lot public health experts don’t know. Our ability to be united in our union to address this virus is yet another example of why all working people need the opportunity to join together in a union, no matter where they work.

SEIU Texas janitors are on the front lines of cleaning and disinfecting Houston’s commercial office buildings. Ensuring that our buildings are clean will be critical to a safe and successful reopening of our economy.

While you may not interact with us directly, airport service workers, who are often Black, brown and immigrant workers, are the backbone of our country’s airports and overall air infrastructure. We help keep airports safe, clean and accessible!
.Starbucks acts like it holds progressive values, yet does everything it can to silence workers. Tell Starbucks, ethical companies don't union bust. http://bit.ly/3JS8OFb #StarbucksShareholders $sbux
