You are invited to the Grand Opening Celebration of our UNITE HERE Health and Dental Center, at 9 am on August 19, 2026.
Our union has fought hard for many years to build the best, most cost-effective health and dental care for service workers in the country.
We hope you can make it. All of us deserve to celebrate this achievement.
The Industrial Commission of Arizona has found in favor of four airline catering workers alleging unpaid wages from Aramark. The workers, who are refugees from Sudan and Afghanistan, are estimated to be owed more than $2,500 in total.
The original charges were filed in February, and the case highlights why wage enforcement matters, especially for workers who are often the most vulnerable.
Thank you to Brian Garcia and Lauren Kuby for taking the lead and writing to Aramark about these wage complaints and always standing with workers!
Forty-seven workers at The Beverly Hilton who are being displaced by renovations at their hotel are receiving severance packages totaling over $6.6 million! Sixteen other workers were reassigned to new classifications and were able to keep their jobs at the hotel. All thanks to their union contract!
The charges against SEIU-USWW President David Huerta have been dismissed by hte US Department of Justice. They tried to silence a union leader while he peacefully protested an ICE raid. They maced, tackled and arrested him. But did not succeed in silencing him. This is more than a legal victory. It is a victory for every worker who speaks up for justice, dignity, and the right to organize.
Hailin Shan, a cook who led other cooks in the 2023 Flying Food strike and was fired on July 2023. Through arbitration it was determined that there was “no just cause to terminate” and the arbitrator ordered the company to bring him back to work with full back pay. Hailin will now return to the Flying Food kitchen to resume working there. He will also be getting backpay going all the way to his termination date in July 2023. Welcome back Hailin!
Thank you to all SoFi workers for hosting 8 games of the World Cup, including the inaugural game of the US National Men’s Team and two games of the eventual World Champions, Spain! Days before the first match, these workers negotiated a major contract with incredible raises and protections against ICE. They won before the first goal was scored, and thanks to them, this World Cup was a huge success!
Workers of Hudson at the Burbank Airport ratified their first union contract. These workers won raises, healthcare, pension, and the legal fund. This contract will cover 19 workers. Congratulations!
Host Harry Marino talks with Local 11 Co-President Kurt Petersen about how the union identified the World Cup as a moment of maximum leverage and secured top priorities for membership. Get a behind-the-scenes look into a masterclass in labor negotiating.
Compass workers in the American Airline lounges won a new contract!!! Workers won significant raises, better benefits, and a new standard for airport lounge workers. This victory comes as workers were on day 3 of their strike over the contract. When we fight, we win!
