Service Employees International Union
(
SEIU
) is a
labor union
representing almost 1.9 million workers
[2]
in over 100 occupations in the
United States
and
Canada
.
[3]
SEIU is focused on organizing workers in three sectors: healthcare (over half of members work in the healthcare field), including
hospital
,
home care
and
nursing home
workers
; public services (government employees, including
law enforcement
); and property services (including
janitors
,
security guards
and food service workers).
SEIU has over 150
local branches
. It is affiliated with the
Strategic Organizing Center
and the
Canadian Labour Congress
. SEIU's international headquarters is located in
Washington, D.C.
, and it is one of the largest unions in the country.
[4]
The union is known for its strong support for
Democratic
candidates. It spent $28 million supporting
Barack Obama
in the
2008 presidential election
. In 2012, SEIU was the top outside spender on Democratic campaigns, reporting almost $70 million of campaign donations, television ads and get-out-the-vote efforts in support of President Obama and other Democrats.
[5]
SEIU is a major supporter of the
Affordable Care Act
[6]
and of increased minimum wage laws, including wage increases for fast food workers.
[7]
[8]
The union is the primary backer of the
Fight for $15
.
[9]
[10]
History
[
edit
]
The SEIU was founded on April 23, 1921 in
Chicago
as the Building Service Employees International Union (BSEIU); its first members were
janitors
,
elevator operators
, and window washers.
[11]
The union's membership increased significantly with a 1934
strike
in
New York City
's
Garment District
.
[12]
In order to reflect its increasingly diversified membership, in 1968 the union renamed itself Service Employees International Union.
[13]
In 1980 through 1984, most of the SEIU's growth came from mergers with four other unions, including the
International Jewelry Workers' Union
and the
Drug, Hospital, and Health Care Employees Union
.
[14]
In 1995, SEIU President
John Sweeney
was elected
president
of the
AFL?CIO
, the main confederation of labor unions in the
United States
. After Sweeney's departure, former
social worker
Andrew Stern
was elected president of SEIU. In the first ten years of Stern's administration, the union's membership grew rapidly and the SEIU became the largest union in the AFL?CIO.
[15]
In 2003, SEIU was a founding member of the
New Unity Partnership
, an organization of unions that pushed for a greater commitment to organizing unorganized workers into unions. In 2005, SEIU was a founding member of the
Change to Win Coalition
, which furthered the reformist agenda, criticizing the AFL?CIO for focusing its attention on electoral politics, instead of encouraging organizing in the face of decreasing union membership.
[

These differences boiled over on the eve of the 2005 AFL?CIO convention, as the SEIU and
Teamsters
announced that they were disaffiliating from the AFL?CIO.
[15]
The
Change to Win Federation
held its founding convention in September 2005, where SEIU Secretary-Treasurer
Anna Burger
was announced as the organization's chair.
In the following decade, several Change to Win members disaffiliated and re-joined the AFL?CIO, leaving SEIU, the Teamsters, and the
United Farm Workers
as the remaining members.
[16]
The SEIU's decision to break away from the AFL?CIO is considered controversial by some labor experts.
[17]
After the disaffiliation, the SEIU continued to experience significant growth in membership. Stern stepped down as president of SEIU in 2010, and was replaced by
Mary Kay Henry
, a long-time organizer and staff member at the union, and its first female president.
[18]
April Verrett
was elected the union's first Black president in May 2024.
[19]
Presidents of SEIU

Organizing and political activities
[
edit
]
Under the Stern and Henry presidencies, SEIU has organized workers in a number of industries. In some cases, these organizing drives have been built around nationwide campaigns, like the earlier
Justice for Janitors
campaign. SEIU has organized large numbers of home care attendants in Oregon,
[20]
[21]
Missouri,
[22]
and Wisconsin,
[23]
among other states, in some cases working together with other unions.
[22]
Since 2004, the union has seen success organizing workers in Texas, Florida, Nevada, and Arizona in particular. Over 5,000 janitors organized with SEIU in
Houston, Texas
in 2005, which was especially significant due to the size of the campaign and its location in an area with low union density.
[24]
In
Florida
, a high-profile strike at the
University of Miami
which lasted nine weeks and included a
hunger strike
, ended with the union winning representation of 425 janitors on campus.
[25]
This victory was shortly followed by another 600 workers at
North Shore Medical Center
, also in
Miami
, voting to join the SEIU in early 2006.
[26]
One of the major potential areas of union growth in the United States is organizing workers usually hitherto considered "unorganizable," especially low-wage
service sector
workers, in what is often called "social movement organizing."
[27]
SEIU has played a major role in the
fast food worker strikes
from 2012?2014 and has contributed more than $15 million to workers' centers and community organizations to organize them.
[28]
The motto for the campaign is "$15 and a union," reflecting the call to increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour and the unionization of fast food workers. SEIU has recently
[
when?
]
begun supporting lawsuits filed by fast food workers to the
National Labor Relations Board
, calling for
McDonald's
to be named a joint employer of the restaurants run by its franchisees, a move which would make it substantially easier to unionize McDonald's employees.
[29]
Adjunct faculty at colleges and universities have been part of a similar campaign.
[30]
In June 2004, SEIU launched a non-union-member affiliate group called Purple Ocean as a mechanism to mobilize non-SEIU members in support of the union's agenda. Purple Ocean members do not have voting rights within the SEIU.
[31]
In November 2009, the SEIU and the
National Union of Healthcare Workers
(NUHW) competed for the right to represent 10,000 home health-care workers in
Fresno, California
. After the SEIU won the right to represent the workers, the NUHW charged the SEIU with changing ballots and threatening to report a worker to immigration officials. The NUHW asked that the election be invalidated and a new one ordered due to what it said was evidence of intimidation.
[32]
[33]
In 2012, SEIU, the
American Federation of Teachers
and
AFSCME
agreed on a politics-only alliance for the 2012 national election campaign.
[34]
In 2016, AFSCME and SEIU announced an extension of that agreement, leading to speculation about a possible future merger.
[34]
[35]
In July 2020, three SEIU members, Felix Thomson, Julia Wallace, and Mark Ostapiak, published an article in the media and organizing forum
Labor Notes
describing their participation in a campaign to disaffiliate police unions from the SEIU.
[36]
The Service Employees International Union challenged
California's Proposition 22
. The proposition was initially overturned in the lower courts before the decision was reversed in the Court of Appeal.
[37]
On November 15, 2023, President
Joe Biden
nominated
Nicole Berner
, the general counsel of the SEIU, to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
.
[38]
Sodexo
[
edit
]
In 2009, the union launched a nationwide campaign against
Sodexo
, criticizing the company's labor standards.
[39]
The union's strategy, which was ultimately unsuccessful, involved organizing student groups to pressure administrators at universities to kick Sodexo out of school cafeterias unless the company permitted unionization.
[40]
Sodexo USA filed a civil lawsuit against SEIU under the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
on March 17, 2011. In the complaint, Sodexo alleged that SEIU engaged in blackmail, vandalism, trespassing, harassment, and lobbying law violations, referring to the "Clean Up Sodexo" campaign as "old-fashioned, strongarm tactics" and SEIU behavior as "egregious" and "illegal."
[41]
[42]
[43]
During the trial, it was revealed that in 1988,
[44]
[45]
the SEIU had co-written a manual detailing how "outside pressure can involve jeopardizing relationships between the employer and lenders, investors, stockholders, customers, clients, patients, tenants, politicians, or others on whom the employer depends for funds." Tactics recommended include references to blackmail and extortion, accusations of racism and sexism, targeting the homes and neighborhoods of business leaders for demonstrations, and also explicitly stated that at times it is necessary to "disobey the law."
[46]
[47]
Following the court discovery of this document, a settlement was reached where Sodexo withdrew the lawsuit and SEIU terminated its public campaign focused on Sodexo.
[48]
[49]
Political donations
[
edit
]
According to
OpenSecrets
, since 1990 the SEIU has been the nation's top organization contributing to federal campaigns, donating $232,694,670, 99 percent of which went to Democrats.
[50]
Over that same period, the
National Education Association
was the second highest organizational political donor, contributing $96,992,506, 97 percent of which went to Democrats.
[50]
Since 1998, the SEIU has spent $19,676,660 in additional money on lobbying.

United Healthcare Workers West
[
edit
]
SEIU Local 2005 United Healthcare Workers West (UHW West) is a large (150,000-member) local union based in
Oakland, California
. In August 2008, the international union announced plans for a hearing to consider trusteeing UHW West. On January 27, 2009, SEIU placed UHW West under trusteeship and dismissed 70 of the local's executives, including president
Sal Rosselli
.
[52]
[53]
Rosselli and other ousted leaders reformed under the name
National Union of Healthcare Workers
and pushed for UHW West members at 60 facilities to vote to decertify SEIU.
[54]
As of 2012, NUHW only represents 6 former SEIU-UHW facilities.
[55]
In early 2013, NUHW affiliated with the California Nurses Association. Also, in early 2013, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ordered that the results of the 2010 Kaiser Permanente union election (a vote by nearly 45,000 Kaiser-Permanente employees choosing between NUHW and SEIU-UHW) be overturned based on evidence of collusion between SEIU-UHW and the employer. The second election was won be SEIU-UHW, by a vote of 18,844 to 13,101.

According to SEIU's Department of Labor records since 2005 (when membership classifications were first reported) about two percent of the union's membership are considered retirees, with eligibility to vote in the union. SEIU contracts also cover some non-members, known as
agency fee
payers, which since 2005 have numbered comparatively about one tenth of the size of the union's membership.
[70]
As of 2014 this accounts for about 35,000 retirees and about 180,000 non-members paying agency fees, compared to about 1.8 million regular members.

Adult foster home care providers reached a one-year agreement with the State of Oregon after seven months of bargaining, becoming the first such workers in the U.S. to win a union contract.
The program aims to support the home-based caregiving -- a lower-cost alternative to institutional care that has lost many providers in recent years due to low rates and tough working conditions.
The settlement covers about 2,000 professional caregivers who serve up to five clients, and another 1,500 individuals who care for relatives in the Medicaid-funded adult foster care program. The workers are represented by Local 503 of the Service Employees International Union.

Those of us in social services, health care, and city and county jobs that protect and nurture the common good are once again the first to be threatened when the economy goes bad, while police budgets, drawn from the same small pot of public money, only seem to grow. And as these austerity threats increase, we know who will be called on to evict us from our homes, or to confront us physically on the picket line. Law enforcement officers are not our union brothers and sisters; they are enforcers of our oppression. Black, Brown, and Native people, trans and queer people, women, youth, and people with disabilities have all been targeted ... This is the moment for us as rank-and-file members to make clear that the priorities of our union should be the well-being of our fellow members and our common humanity, and that SEIU must make a tangible commitment to anti-racism by fighting to defund the police and expel police affiliates.
