SEIU Texas

Airport service workers are standing up! Wages have stayed flat for 20 years while airlines doubled CEO pay. It's time to hold airlines & their contractors accountable. Pass the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act & set standards for fair wages, healthcare & paid time off.

Workers @HCAHealthcare hospitals are struggling to afford gas, groceries and other necessities. It's time to pay hospital workers a living wage!

It's hard to raise a family with our @HCAHealthcare salaries. We need a salary that lets us keep a roof over our heads and food on the table!

We keep El Paso healthy but we’re not making enough to sustain ourselves. Too many workers at Del Sol and Las Palmas @HCAHealthcare hospitals are just one paycheck away from losing their home or car. We need a raise!

Martha has been working 12 hour shifts 10 days in a row to make ends meet. She works in a @HCAHealthcare hospital but she can barely afford her husband's cancer treatment and has to ask her kids to help her pay rent. Hospital workers shouldn’t have to live like this.

We save lives and keep #ElPaso healthy, but too many @HCAHealthcare hospital workers can’t afford to put food on the table, a roof over their heads and gas in their cars. Stay tuned to hear their stories. We need a living wage now!

We need a senator who looks out for Texas workers. Who stands up to corporations trying to profit off our backs. Who fights for fair pay and safe working conditions. We believe James Talarico can be that senator. We’re proud to endorse @JamesTalarico for senate!

I’m an immigrant. I represent a district with immigrants from around the world. Lorenzo’s story could be my family’s story. This morning, I spoke at a vigil sponsored by @SEIUTX. Our lives matter. We will fight for justice & accountability. #JusticeForLorenzo. #txlege

"We are here to remember Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, to remember his life, and to mourn his loss. We are also here to remember all of those who have died at the hands of ICE...too many lives have ben lost." - SEIU Texas's President Elsa Flores

"We couldn't make it a day without immigrants in Houston." - Commissioner Rodney Ellis

"Houston, Harris County, we are a city of immigrants, this is a country of immigrants and today we stand together in unity for working families..." Harris County Commissioner Lesley Briones

We can’t let this happen in our community. We need to come together to demand answers and justice for Araujo’s family. No one should else have to endure the loss of a family member at the hands of ICE. (Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher speaks at vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.)

"It's a hard moment to be an American. Everyone's response...has been overwhelming and it's swelling my heart with pride. Even though my government...took away my father, we the people will bring justice, we the people are America, we the people we stick together."

"We're going to fight every single day for Lorenzo, for his family, for this community, and we are never going to forget that his blood is on Donald Trump's hands." - Congressman Christian Menefee

"Hug your Dad tight." - Ronaldo, Lorenzo's son speaks to the crowd gathered for his father's vigil. No one should have to lose their father like this. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be here today and his family deserves to know why his life was taken from them.
