We’re focused on organizing all over America at 1199. And
President Henry Nicholas is pushing growth and power.
President Nicholas knows that we can’t grow our strength and bargaining power without organizing and growing our membership. So we at 1199 are focused on growth and power and winning.
Just recently 140 workers at a large health center joined our union after a brutal campaign to crush the people and crush the union. The workers won. The union won. And bargaining will begin soon.
Already our organizers have begun campaigns at two acute care hospitals.
And the Philadelphia 1199 District just worked through the weekend to change our complete internal culture to focus on organizing and growth. All our staff will focus on organizing. Our worksite leaders will enforce the contract.
Plus two months ago the 1199 executive board moved $1 million dollars of new money into organizing.
1199 is committed to organizing and is organizing now.
