Forming A Union

Workers across the nation are joining SEIU at a record pace because healthcare workers, public employees and social service providers know we are stronger together. Workers are joining unions to:

 

  • worker_collage.jpgImprove our ability to provide quality services to the public.
  • Provide solutions to problems encountered on the job.
  • Gain more job security.
  • Negotiate with our employers for better pay and benefits.
