Stand Up & Defend Our Democracy!

Check out this animation by Lalo Alcaraz done exclusively for SEIU-USWW We are living through an unprecedented moment of attack on our communities and our democracy, and it requires unprecedented action.

We Are SEIU USWW

“I’m with USWW because before I had a union I had to work two jobs to make ends meet. By joining with my fellow janitors and forming a union, we won respect on the job and the chance to earn enough to live in California.”
-Lalo Garcia
“I’m with USWW because I think everyone deserves to be treated fairly. Joining together with other passenger service workers at LAX was the only way that I could have a strong voice on the job and joining together in a union is the only way working people can be strong advocates for themselves.”
-Tim Maddux
“I was proud that our security contract campaign also took on the problem of discrimination on the job. Discrimination prevents young black people from getting jobs and keeps them from being able to care for their families. Discrimination is destroying our communities.”
-Tiffany Dinkins
“I’m Carolina, a janitor and union steward. I didn’t join to be a leader — I just knew I couldn’t stay silent while others were hurting. Now I fight so no one is left alone.”
-Carolina Mendoza
“I became a shop steward because I didn’t want to see my coworkers living in fear anymore. I’m not here to be a hero — I’m here to build collective power. The union is our tool to defend ourselves.”
— Yordanius Escalona, shop steward Airport San Francisco at UNIFI and proud SEIU-USWW member.
-Yordanis Escalona

“I have worked in the janitorial industry for 25 years. I work hard every day for justice and for the rights of my SEIU-USWW sisters and brothers. I’m proud of my union.”

 
-María Trujillo
“Over 25 years in the janitorial industry and a member of SEIU-USWW’s executive board. Available 24/7 to support her fellow janitors.A quarter century building a more just world for everyone”.
-Guadalupe Ramos
“I, Alfredo Lahoud, Vice President of the janitorial industry in Northern California, was one of the leaders of the historic 2008 strike. The success, however, was truly the result of the unity of all the workers, who together secured significant improvements in wages and safety. Today, I remain committed and in the daily fight for the well-being of all my fellow workers.”
-Alfredo Lahoud
