One job should be enough.

Enough to live.
Enough to eat.
Enough to rest.
Enough to thrive.

Every worker deserves a fair wage, quality benefits, and the dignity that comes with being able to support themselves and their family through a single job. No one should have to work two or three jobs just to make ends meet.

At SEIU 500, we’re fighting for an economy that works for working people β€” where hard work is respected, workers have a voice on the job, and everyone has the opportunity not just to survive, but to thrive.

This administration has made its intentions clear: anti-trans legislation, attacks on DEI, and actions stripping workplace protections are chipping away at hard-won rights. The threats are real. But so is our power.

that the Stonewall uprisings were a major turning point for the labor rights movement? Check out the timeline πŸ‘€

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka wrote in 2018, β€œtoday, you are free to marry who you love. But in most states, you can still be fired because of who you are. Unless, of course, you have the protection of a union contract.”

The Human Rights Campaign reports that β€œLGBTQ+ workers earn about 90 cents for every dollar that the typical worker earns. LGBTQ+ people of color, transgender women and men and non-binary individuals earn even less when compared to the typical worker.”

Union membership flattens wage gaps between races and genders. The same elements which make unions more equitable workplaces – open bargaining, ample discussion of wages and benefits, and the ability to directly address pay gaps – help provide financial protection to members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Closing with Trumka's words: "For many LGBTQ Americans, a union card is their only form of employment protection. But more importantly, it signifies membership in a large and growing family ready to fight when it matters most.
That’s what the labor movement is all about. And it’s how the progress of tomorrow will be won." πŸ©·πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ©΅πŸ’œπŸ€ŽπŸ–€
