SEIU 1199NE Calls For Temporary Strike at Rhode Island Groden Center

Staff at the Groden Center in Providence, Rhode Island, went on an SEIU 1199NE-led temporary strike in mid-September, demanding higher wages and improved working conditions. The Groden Center, which provides specialized services for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities, faced service disruptions as workers walked off the job, leaving many students without the critical care and support they rely on.
