In 1959, the largely male, Jewish drugstore Union began to transform itself by launching drives to organize the city’s voluntary, not-for profit hospitals and their primarily female, African-American and Latino workers.
They include not only most of the city’s hospital workers but also tens of thousands of nursing home workers, homecare attendants and home health aides, workers in free-standing community clinics for mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse, and human service workers in the Legal Aid Society, Columbia and Yeshiva Universities and other non-healthcare facilities.
They are organized within the 1199SEIU internal structure along “health systems” lines, designed primarily for collective bargaining purposes to align with a restructured hospital industry with its networks of medical centers with their auxiliary satellite clinics, nursing homes and homecare agencies.
