SEIU Healthcare 1199NJ is the the largest fastest growing health care worker's union in the state.
We represent over 7,000 nursing home workers from CNAs, LPN, Recreational Aides to Maintainence and House Keeping. We also represent hundreds of Home Health Aides who care for New Jersey's sick and elderly.
We care about our residents and our future.
As a union of more than 7,000 members, we use our strength to protect our residents and our future. Quality resident care is at the top of our agenda and we will do what it takes to protect both.
Our accomplishments include:
-
Stopping $ 240 million in proposed Medicaid funding cuts
-
Passing the Quality Care Improvement Fund Act - since 2004 this has secured nearly $400 million in new federa funding for direct patient care.
-
Winning a higher standard for 5,000 nursing home caregivers and the residents they care for across New Jersey.
We will continue to build our strength and use it to help shape and improve New Jersey's Long-Term Care System.
