OPTUM TELECOMMUTER WORKERS
Are forming our union with 1199SEIU!
Optum Telecommuter workers are joining 1199SEIU, the strongest and most effective union of healthcare workers nationwide! Alongside our Optum colleagues—who are already members of 1199SEIU—we will have the most powerful voice to win the highest job standards and improve patient care.
What Can We Win Together? Hear from 1199 Members:
“I am proud of our 1199SEIU membership. We stood strong and were able to secure a contract that includes a 15% increase over 3 years, health insurance with no out of-pocket costs, and On Call increase of $15, then $17hr. This was a tough win, but a win!"
Dawn Cholewka, Garnet Health Middletown, Surgical Tech
United in 1199, healthcare workers have fought for and won:
✓ Excellent benefits, including affordable healthcare
✓ Strong job security, including protections from layoffs and subcontracting
✓ Some of the highest wages in the country, with guaranteed annual raises, clear wage scales, differential pay, and more.
✓ More Paid Time Off
✓ Retirement security
✓ No-cost training and education opportunities to advance our profession
✓ Safe staffing
✓ Respect and a voice on the job!
“After we voted yes by a landslide, we carried that momentum into our negotiations with Northwell. Less than six months later, we have made real progress towards a contract that includes the 1199 Pension and Healthcare funds: the strongest retirement security you can get, and free family health coverage. Now, it’s your turn to fight—and win.”
Jesse McDade, Clinical Laboratory Technologist, Northwell Health Laboratories
Optum Workers Are Stronger Together
Workers across Optum are no longer tolerating low wages, poor staffing conditions, inadequate benefits, and a lack of respect from Management. Optum workers are winning the power to improve our jobs, united in 1199SEIU. Now, it’s our turn.
“United in 1199, we will gain power in the decisions that affect our lives, our families, and our patients. We will also gain input on what we consider fair compensation, as well as affordable healthcare and more benefits.”
Jeanine Smith, RN, Optum Fishkill-Westage
