As 1199SEIU hospital workers, we are stronger together

Over 450,000 healthcare workers have united in 1199SEIU to win power and a real say in our jobs, including over 35,000 professional and technical members. The collective strength and expertise of our union allows 1199SEIU members to negotiate strong contracts that advance the needs of our individual professions and improve patient care.

With the right to negotiate a union contract and the strength of our union, 1199SEIU hospital workers have won higher pay, training & education opportunities, affordable healthcare, and job protections, as well as a strong, effective voice in staffing, scope of practice, and patient care. We believe joining our Lawrence Hospital colleagues in 1199SEIU is our best opportunity to improve our working conditions and improve the quality of care we provide.

Our Patients Are Counting On Us

Government Voice

Our jobs, and healthcare, are highly regulated, and 1199SEIU is the most influential voice for hospital workers in the government and regulatory arena. We’ve fought for and won:

Healthcare funding
Patients’ rights
Licensure for laboratory practitioners, respiratory therapists, & social workers

1199SEIU MA hospital workers say: Join us!
