Nurse Lobby Day 2011
As Legislators marked the half-way point in the 2011 general session, nearly 100 Local 1991 members, CIR doctors and nurses from other unions, descended on Tallahassee to let our voices be heard about issues affecting our patients and profession.
After participating in educational sessions to learn about effective advocacy and the issues at play, our members fanned out around the capitol, discussing key issues with their Senators and Representatives. Topics discussed included proposed bills attacking collective bargaining, bills undermining the public sector pensions (particularly the FRS) and budgets in both houses which threaten severe cuts in education and healthcare.
Nurse Lobby Day 2010
More than 100 Local 1991 members arrived in Tallahassee on Wednesday, April 21, for our union’s annual Nurse Lobby Day. On Wednesday, our members toured the Capitol and attended an educational program about lobbying and advocacy skills. During the trip, members will be meeting with elected officials to lobby for safe staffing legislation, Jackson funding and other issues, followed by a press conference at the Capitol on Thursday. Check out these pictures from our event!
Congratulations Team 1991!
More than 50 SEIU Local 1991 members participated in the 2009 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Bayfront Park Miami.
Our team showed up at 7:30 a.m. to our SEIU Local 1991 tent to fuel up on bagels and fruit before hitting the race route with 18,000 other people. The 3.1-mile path wound around various roads through downtown Miami and ended up back at Bayfront. We stood out among the other teams with our beautiful custom-made t-shirts with a picture of Sheryl Pettitt, our beloved former Executive Director to whom we dedicated the race, on our backs.
Our team raised a total $860 in pledges! Thanks to all who participated!
