Service Employees International Union

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is a major labor union representing nearly two million workers in various service sectors, including healthcare, property services, and public services, across the United States and Canada. SEIU advocates for improved wages, benefits, and working conditions for its members through collective bargaining, political action, and community organizing. Recent news highlights SEIU's involvement through its affiliates, such as the California Fast Food Workers Union. This affiliate is currently advocating for employers to sign a pledge reaffirming workers' rights in the face of increased ICE raids, demonstrating SEIU's commitment to protecting vulnerable workers. While not directly mentioned in the article about California's proposed billionaire tax, SEIU's broader advocacy for economic justice and fair taxation aligns with the underlying issues of wealth inequality and funding for public services like Medicaid, making their work continuously relevant in the current socio-economic climate.
