At 1199, young members meet on the first Friday of the month to network and socialize. Often they have a guest speaker or show a movie. The union provides real food – not pizza!

Secretary-Treasurer Brenda Rodrigues has requested that any under 35-year-old members interested in starting up a similar program at Local 888 to contact her at 617 241-3300 or email brodrigues@seiu888.org
