In his remarks at 1199’s Salute to Freedom in 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr stated, “Local 1199 represents the authentic conscience of the labor movement.” Over the past 25 years, we have used strategic campaigns and direct action to form unions, win significant victories for employees, and demand improvements for sick, elderly, and needy patients in nursing homes, state direct care and mental health facilities, hospitals, and other health care centers. The majority of our members and staff are women, people of color, and/or immigrants. A key guiding principle of our Union is to facilitate and stimulate the broadest possible rank and file participation in the formulation and execution of the program of the Union.

Good listening, speaking, and writing communication skills. Automobile and valid driver’s license. Salary & Benefits: Competitive salary depends on experience. This job includes a generous benefits package including pension and health insurance. #J-18808-Ljbffr Service Employee Intl. Union
