SEIU Local 121RN

“Labor unions need to step up and work with legislatures to protect LGBTQIA+ people in their workplaces. We have to step up and protect ourselves and our community,” said Michelle Horn, PACU RN at Kaiser Permanente Moreno Valley Medical Center.”

Two months ago, Horn helped organize SEIU 121RNs Lavendar Caucus, which shares information and education on LGBTQIA+ issues and helps facilitate communication between the LGBTQIA+ community and the labor movement.

From Stephen Blair’s fight for workers and q***r rights at the National Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards in the 1930s, to Harvey Milk and the Teamsters fight against discrimination and union busting against Coors in the 1970s, to Starbucks Workers United fight for respect and visibility, labor unions have always fought for the dignity of all workers.

“Right now my community is under attack, and trans people are facing more political repression and violence than they have in decades. The right of same s*x couples to marry—despite being overwhelmingly popular—may be taken away. I think the labor movement will play an important role in defending our human rights and our civil rights,” Horn said.

The SEIU 121RN Lavendar Caucus, Horn said, is open to all people.

Happy !

Nurses ensure that our loved ones are safe and cared for. Theirs is often the first face that a patient sees, and the last to wish them well at the end of their hospital stay. They are our best advocates on our worst days.

For union Nurses, that advocacy goes far beyond the bedside. Our members have won groundbreaking legislation that makes all of us safer when we visit a hospital.

SEIU 121RN members have led the fight to ensure safer staffing. They faced down the corporate hospital lobby to win Senate Bill 596, a new law that tightens enforcement of California’s Nurse to patient ratios and makes it harder for hospitals to violate them. They pressed lawmakers to pass our “Secure Hospitals for All” bill (Assembly Bill 2975), which will require all acute care hospitals to place metal detectors at public entrances, staffed around the clock, so that weapons can’t be brought in to harm staff, patients or visitors.

For more than two decades, SEIU 121RN members have fought for higher standards, better protections, and safer patient care. This week (and always!) we celebrate our Nurses’ resilience, their strength, and the sacrifice they make for all of us.

Happy ! At SEIU 121RN, we’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with our union family.

Here in Los Angeles, the energy, solidarity and power is palpable. There is no other way we’d rather spend International Workers’ Day than in the streets with all of you.

We’ll return to our hospitals recharged and ready to fight for patients, and a better healthcare system for all.
