CIR/SEIU

MGB CIR & @DoctorsCouncil members supported MGB Home Care clinicians @massnurses yesterday to demand they get a fair contract. We call on @massgeneralbrigham for recognition, investment, & a system that supports the experts caring for patients at home✊🏽 #1u #faircontractnow

As CIR members, Christ hospital residents worked hard to negotiate affordable health plans. It’s imperative that we get to keep them and be able to access care while also providing it. Thank you to Hudson County Executive @CraigGuyHC for leading the charge on this initiative ✊

Thank you to Hudson County elected officials for calling on Hudson Regional Hospital to preserve the health insurance plans of the resident physicians recently transferred from Christ Hospital.

can we get @cirseiu in the Pitt immediately...... they need it nowwwww

Solidarity with Dolores ✊

Make sure to make a plan to vote in these exciting election

CIR members are proud to endorse Janeese Lewis George for D.C. Mayor! Janeese is a champion for the communities we serve—policies like rent protections & universal childcare will help build our vision for a healthy, thriving city.

Last week CIR members in RI joined SEIU union siblings for a legislative luncheon. We spoke about how a fair contract for resident physicians and fair share revenue legislation (SB2238, HB7313) are the investments we need to protect the health of all Rhode Islanders.

In many ways, the lives of our patients are less safe because of immigration enforcement. They’re getting care, are afraid to go to work, and even risk getting evicted. As doctors, we will do what we can, both inside and outside of our hospitals, to protect our patients.

Last week, CIR Regional Vice President Dr. Brett Lewis spoke in front of the MA legislature in support of the PROTECT Act to curb ICE presence in our community. #ICEoutofourcommunities

Incredible legislative wins in New Mexico! With our coalition partners, CIR members met with legislators, delivered testimony, shared our stories, & more. Using our collective efforts to champion policy that will directly improve conditions for us & our patients is UNION POWER

We had some good discussions about the impacts of high premiums and out of pocket costs. We were able to secure 7 co sponsors from both chambers, and support from the Senate Health Appropriations Chair committee.

CIR members traveled to Springfield yesterday to talk to lawmakers about our bill to cap healthcare premiums for health workers—1H84957/583407.

ICYMI 👀 Earlier this month Trump’s DOJ dropped their appeal to coerce UCLA into paying a $1.2 billion settlement + institute far-right ideological changes. CIR members joined a coalition of other UC unions and faculty groups in a lawsuit that led to the current injunction. 💪

We’ve been negotiating at @KECKSchool_USC for over 9 months. We’re done with the delays…we went straight to @DeanMeltzer's office to deliver a message: FAIR CONTRACT NOW!✊

And we will continue to apply pressure until @UChicagoMed reinstates ALL departmental benefits! #unionstrong

Thank you to Rep. Karen Alzate & Sen. Melissa Murrary for sponsoring this bill!

This tax, which would apply only to the top 1% of earners, would bring in $200 million. That means more money for healthcare, food assistance, childcare, public education, and public transportation. That means a critical investment for the well-being of our people.

Last week, CIR members were at the Rhode Island State House to rally for S2238 & H7313, a proposal to ensure everyone in the state pays their fair share. As doctors we do everything we can for the well-being of our patients—and it’s frustrating to know that our state can do more
