• What did that strike actually get you?
• If 1199 is so skilled at bargaining, why did it all come down to a strike?
• How many of you felt pressured or even bullied into striking when you didn’t want to?
• How many of you stood on that picket line wondering how you’d pay your bills?

While you lost a week’s pay, SEIU 1199 reps kept getting paid — with your dues. They weren’t the ones worrying about groceries, rent, or gas. You were. Strikes don’t protect your livelihood. They protect SEIU 1199’s power.
