About Me

Corporate America is about poverty wages, sweatshops, pollution, tax loopholes, and discrimination. At SEIU, that's not a mission we can get behind. We're about leveling the playing field of the global economy, so that workers and their families -- not just CEOs -- can have decent wages, health care, and the other rewards of work.We're into large-scale organizing, innovative direct action, grassroots political action, community coalition building, and 21st century technology. If that’s something you can get into, check us out. We’re 1.8 million members strong and the fastest-growing labor organization in North America. Find one of our 300 local unions or state councils.
