The 1199SEIU Funds are some of the country’s largest self-administered
labor-management funds. Close to 860 hospitals, nursing homes, home
care agencies and other healthcare organizations make contributions
that pay for the health coverage, pension, training, job security and
child care benefits that more than 230,000 healthcare workers and their
families enjoy.
This section is intended to help answer any
questions about the benefits your employees in 1199SEIU bargaining
units receive through the Funds, and to ensure that these employees are
receiving the benefits your contributions pay for.
The Benefit
Fund's Outreach Coordinators are also available to answer questions,
explain Fund benefits or resolve problems. Your Coordinator is
available by phone or email, or you can schedule a time for him or her
to come to your institution in person.
To find out the name of your Outreach Coordinator, call (646) 473-6930 or email outreach@1199Funds.org.
Labor Management Project
The Labor Management Project brings workers together with their employers to collectively solve problems in their facility, creating a more satisfying and positive work environment and improving patient care.
By giving workers a voice at the table, the program ensures that these solutions address the needs of the patients, employees and their employers. Projects can range from staffing retention and self-scheduling to achieving training and certification goals. Members should ask their employers if their facility is participating in a project.
For more information on the Labor Management Project, call (212) 894-4302.
