PRESIDENT'S REPORT

We Can We Will We Must Unite

Hello brothers and sisters of Local 722,

We would like to inform you that collective bargaining negotiations are actively underway at both of our represented healthcare facilities. With our current contracts set to expire on June 30, 2025, your Union is fully engaged in securing a fair, comprehensive agreement that upholds your rights, ensures equitable compensation, and protects the conditions you rely on to provide the highest standard of patient care.

In the spirit of full transparency, we urge all members to stay informed throughout this important process. Updates will be shared regularly on our official website, www.seiu722.org, including proposals exchanged during each bargaining session. Staying connected and informed is vital to our collective strength and unity.

Navigating National Headwinds

These negotiations come at a time of serious national challenges that directly impact healthcare workers across the country. The current administration's attempts to weaken Social Security and Medicaid, combined with import tariffs that drive up the cost of essential medical supplies, are already straining hospital systems.

Additionally, we are witnessing a troubling rise in unjust terminations of workers and an erosion of longstanding labor protections. These actions threaten not only the security of our jobs but also the dignity and rights of all working people. In response, our commitment must be stronger than ever—we must stand together, advocate assertively, and protect what we have worked so hard to achieve.

Celebrating Family Achievements

Amidst the challenges, we also take time to celebrate the positive moments in our members’ lives. We extend heartfelt congratulations to all members whose children are graduating from high school, college, or other educational programs this season.
