Home care workers in IL used to make as little as $1 an hour & didn’t have healthcare. Now they make as much as $13 an hour & thousands have gained free healthcare. No court is going to stop us. #WeRise #JanusvAfscme #twill pic.twitter.com/Jn3maqsIMr

The Chicago & Cook Co. minimum wages increases this Sunday. That’s because @SEIU w/ other #union members & allies across the region demanded an increase. No court is going to stop us & we’re going to win the #Fightfor15. #WeRise #JanusvAfscme #Fightfor15 pic.twitter.com/iivUaWVCd1

The @IHAhospitals tried to defund & shut down safety net hospitals around the state. We stopped them & got hospitals the funding they needed. https://t.co/n8L99lZ7ru #WeRise #Union #JanusvAfscme

The largely African American workforce at Christian Care nursing home in Ferguson MO went on strike for 104 days. Because they stuck together they got a raise, better healthcare, & seniority rights. #Union #WeRise #ChristianNHStrike pic.twitter.com/Tue0aaCsuc

And nursing home workers at Veracare just won a good contract with raises, affordable insurance, & retirement benefits. That’s the #Union Difference. No court is going to stop us. #WeRise #JanusvAfscme #VeracareStrike pic.twitter.com/ovuLlapEiV

And Indiana we continue are building strong bargaining committees at hospitals & strong coalitions at the state capitol to reform criminal justice and to raise pay.
These victories are not just good for workers, they are good for the public as a whole. More parents have child care, more seniors and those with disabilities have home care, & patient care in hospitals is better. They economy is stronger due to > wages & > demand.
