SEIU 1199 wants to convince you that you need them to stand with you “against” management. But let’s be honest: that doesn’t make sense. You shouldn’t have to fight your own leaders just to have a conversation.

You should have the right to build a relationship with management without paying dues to a union whose only goal is to push its own agenda.

• SEIU 1199 doesn’t pay your wages or benefits — they only take dues.
• They decide how to spend that money, often on high salaries and politics you may not support.
• SEIU 1199 can’t guarantee raises, benefits, or job security. Everything is negotiable — and sometimes workers lose more than they gain.
• Their business model depends on keeping you divided from leadership so they can justify collecting dues.

Truth Check: SEIU 1199 needs your dues to survive. You don’t need them to speak for you.
