Statement of Milly Silva, Executive Vice President, on Supreme Court DAPA/DACA decision

Niagara Falls, NY - Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center and 1199SEIU Healthcare Workers have once again collaboratively approved a three-year agreement covering more than 680 union healthcare workers, roughly 70% of the medical center’s workforce.

Member Political Organizer (MPO) Jacquelyn “Jackie” Wheeler says the best way to protect our right to vote is to…vote.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 1168 and 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East have reached a tentative agreement with Kaleida Health for a new 3-year collective bargaining agreement that will cover more than 6,300 union healthcare workers at Buffalo General Medical Center, Oishei Children’s Hospital, Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, HighPointe on Michigan, DeGraff Medical Park, and various community-based clinics. The tentative agreement with the hospital system was reached late tonight, following intense all-day bargaining sessions held this week by union members and Kaleida management, as they fought to avoid a strike. Details of the agreement will not be made public until union committees are able to brief all members on the agreement.

“It’s inspiring how our Florida healthcare workers have put themselves in harm’s way to care for others in Hurricane Ian, just as they have for more than two years on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic. But it’s sad and angering that they face even greater risk due to a critical staffing shortage created by employers that put profits over people, and state leaders who allow this to happen.

Do you have federal student loans or know someone who does? Do you/they work for a not-for-profit healthcare institution or other non-profit or government organization?

Here are the resources and information you need to make sure your home and workplace are prepared for the hurricane season.
