In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.
None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.
We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.
Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.
mark your calendars!! We want as many union eligible OnPoint staff members at this meeting as possible — no supervisors, managers, or directors. Everyone eligible staff member should have the opportunity to know what’s going on and voice their opinion.
we’ll be having a general Zoom meeting on Sunday September 13th at 7PM. Please join us to ask questions, learn more about unionizing, and talk about next steps.
In the meantime, there are actions we can all take to build power within the workplace.
we're no longer a union represented by NEJB. BUT we have not stopped organizing and building power to demand better working conditions.
A little info about unions and why they matter. We plan on sharing more posts about unions, organizing, and the connection to harm reduction — stay tuned!
In the meantime, please feel free to DM here or on Instagram (united.onpoint) or email us @ [email protected]
We are so back!!!
OnPoint staff is fighting for a union & want to make sure all of our coworkers know what’s going on. We'll use social media for communication so share this page with your coworkers!

Shoutout to @OnPointUnited for staying out in the cold and delivering services in East Harlem, despite being shut out by @_OnPointNYC.
Those in that union are almost entirely “lower-level” staff who do 90% of the work to keep the OPCs & drop-ins going.
They deserve much better.

Unionized OnPoint healthcare workers @OnPointUnited walked out yesterday after mgmt illegally fired a worker for union organizing. This morning, OnPoint locked workers out of the building. Bring hand warmers, food, and solidarity to the picket all day today at 104-106 E126th St!

Last week our brave members at @_OnPointNYC showed their solidarity with one another as they fight for a first contract that respects workers and delivers the best support services for NYC's marginalized communities.
🚨 HAPPENING NOW: 🚨 A number of our East Harlem workers have walked out in protest of the abrupt and illegal firing of an organizer merely ONE DAY after she led a successful flyering activity. HR was onsite immediately, taking names and demanding that workers leave the premises.
This week our Washington Heights staff came together to build worker power and make our voices heard through an interactive flyer activity! Here are some highlights:

Proud to contribute to 70,000 workers organized in 5 years with @OnPointUnited @UnitedPavement and UVM Sodexo workers in New England at @unitehere convention!
Since November, we have been bargaining with management for a fair contract at @_OnPointNYC. We are pleased to report that so far, the organization is negotiating in good faith. Our hope is for a contract that can serve as a proud standard-bearer for the harm reduction movement.
With the news of Rhode Island’s progress on opening their state-sponsored Overdose Prevention Center, we know that our work and that of our forebears is paving the way for change across the country. We are committed to fighting for the rights of the workers who make it possible.
