UFCW 3000 Demands the Release of David Huerta

/

On Friday, ICE agents dressed in military gear raided retail establishments across Los Angeles. During one of those raids, video shows SEIU California and SEIU-United Service Workers West President David Huerta being assaulted and arrested as he advocates for immigrant workers. He remains in custody following his release from the hospital.

In the following days, the Trump Administration escalated these attacks on working people and labor leaders by deploying the military on various communities in LA.

“These raids and the federal crackdown constitute a direct attack on our First Amendment rights to protest and organize. We must continue to fight for these rights and all workers,” said UFCW 3000 President Faye Guenther.

UFCW 3000, which represents more than 56,000 workers in Washington State, demands the immediate release of David Huerta and an end to these raids.

We encourage all in our region to join the #FreeDavidEndRaids rally in downtown Seattle outside the SEIU 775 office at 11 am on Monday, June 9. Find more details here.

Providence Patients before Profits Rally July 26

/

On Friday, July 26 join hundreds of fellow union members from across Washington for a spirited rally at Providence headquarters to stand up for quality patient care and good jobs. All job titles throughout Providence including nurses, nursing assistants, techs, social workers, transporters, hospice workers, pharmacists, environmental services, nutrition workers, clerks and lab workers will gather in a massive show of unity.

We’re all experiencing the same attacks from Providence as the corporation prioritizes excessive executive pay, profits and branding above the needs of patients and front-line workers. We are struggling with severe under-staffing, unaffordable health benefits, unfair wages, cuts to our sick time, and disrespect and discrimination on the job.

Meanwhile, Providence raked in $24.4 BILLION in operating revenue and $165 MILLION in operating profits last year. The CEO Rod Hochman had a 157% increase in total compensation to $10.5 MILLION in 2017, and the top 15 Providence execs had over $41 MILLION in total compensation that year.

Let’s all send a powerful message directly to these millionaire executives that Providence needs to stop wasting resources and invest in quality care for our patients! RSVP below…
