Who needs to picket?
We need all SEIU-UHW members on the picket line to stand strong together. This is particularly important at the start and end of our work shifts and at times when we are holding a press conference or rally of solidarity.

Can I picket if I am on probation?
Yes, probationary employees have the same right as everyone else to picket.

Can I picket if I am Per Diem?
Yes, Per Diem employees have the same right as everyone else to picket.

Can I be disciplined for participating in our picket?
No. A picket is a protected concerted activity, and it is illegal for an employer to even threaten an employee with discipline. Please report any abuse by management immediately to a bargaining team member or SEIU-UHW representative.

Can non-union workers join our picket line?
Yes, other healthcare workers not in our bargaining unit can lend support and are encouraged to do so.

Will there be food on the picket line?
Yes, SEIU-UHW will provide water, lunch and snacks.

Can I bring my kids to the picket line?
Yes! It will be a peaceful picket line and we will have fun times for kids and other family members to join us.
