💪 Scenes from the 2026 @labornotes.bsky.social conference! A contingent of SEIU 509 members led & participated in workshops on building worker power. The labor movement is alive & strong, and we're ready to take back the tools we've learned and apply them at our workplaces & in our communities!
ACTION ALERT 🚨 10,000 MA families could lose child care due to child care educators struggling to keep their programs open. We need your help to protect family child care across Massachusetts! Urge Governor Healey to increase funding for family child care workers NOW: link.seiu509.org/fcc6-26
