Welcome
Welcome to the SEIU/1199 New Connections Network, an on-line community for Member
Connectors (MCs) in SEIU/1199. Here, MCs will have the ability to control their
own network, find important information about issues members really care about,
and most importantly, MCs will be able to communicate with each other across the
entire District.
For members who are currently MCs, please click on the Sign In tab located at the
top right. If you have trouble logging in, please contact the
administrator. For members who are not MCs, please look around the site
at what is available for non-MCs and watch the Member Videos as well. If you would
like to become and MC for your chapter, it's simple. Just
click here and put in the subject line New MC. Your organizer will contact
you directly to get you a username and password so you can begin to lead your own
Network at your worksite.
We look forward to bringing members across the entire District in contact with each
other with a simple click of the mouse. SEIU/1199 and its members are embarking
on a new journey of embracing technology and allowing MCs to become leaders in ways
they never imagined. Join the New Connections Network and begin making positive
changes for members, their families and our communities.
