Projects

Forming Change to Win

SEIU helped form Change to Win. Along with with four other Change to Win unions, the Teamsters for a Democratic Union, UNITE HERE, the United Food and Commercial Workers, and the Carpenters, SEIU disaffiliated from the AFL-CIO.

SEIU, the Laborers' International Union of North America (LiUNA), and the United Farm Workers are now developing strategies and organizing campaigns together.

Americans for Health Care

This SEIU project is an effort to unite working families, small business owners, seniors, health care workers, community leaders, and policy makers to make health care cost less for consumers. The group says it is using a grassroots push in states across the map including Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington for health care policies will increase access to quality, affordable health care. According to the website, more than 350,000 "Health Care Voters" made the group's pledge to make health care a priority.

PurpleOcean.org

This online Internet-based union affiliate is a project to connect union grassroots efforts online. For example, thousands of members protesting Wal-Mart's business model used the site to take action against it. Now, PurpleOcean.org redirects back to SEIU, but the original PurpleOcean.org was its own website.

Immigrant workers

SEIU is helping ensure immigrant workers have a shot at the American dream. Representing more immigrants than any other union, SEIU has been a leading voice for immigration reform that rewards work and improves conditions for all working people in this country. SEIU helped pave the way for organized labor to support legalization for hard-working, tax-paying immigrants, and the union's civic participation program encourages immigrants to actively participate in our communities and our democracy.

America Coming Together

Amy Dean wrote in 2010 "A most dramatic example of the collapse of organizing efforts between electoral cycles is that of America Coming Together (ACT), an aggressive labor-based advocacy and get-out-the-vote operation led by Steve Rosenthal, former political director of the AFL-CIO, during the 2004 election cycle. With major financial supporters including George Soros, Peter Lewis and the Service Employees union (SEIU), ACT had 78 field offices spread throughout 12 swing states; it mobilized more than 50,000 people to canvass on Election Day. Yet despite an effort to keep the group intact after the elections, it folded completely within months. Its funders did not have a vision that extended beyond the drama of a big election year. “In an ideal world,” says Rosenthal today, “we’d have a progressive campaign that works year-round to create policy change and then gears up for election work. Unfortunately, right now, there is no permanent funding mechanism for progressive infrastructure, and without it, it’s very difficult to sustain operations.”

Health care projects

SEIU covers 2.1 million members working in the health care field, including 110,000 nurses and 40,000 doctors. Its Nurse Alliance was a lobbying effort behind the first federal "safe staffing" legislation. The legislation worked to establish minimum nurse-to-patient ratios. They also lobbied for a bill that would limit mandatory overtime in hospitals.

The project partnered with providers like Kaiser Permanente and the League of Voluntary Hospitals in New York for their union lobbying and organizing efforts..

SEIU is the largest union of long-term care workers in the United States, covering 500,000 home care and 160,000 nursing home workers.

In April 2005, 41,000 home care workers in Michigan joined SEIU along with California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois New York and other members' locations.

Janitorial workers

Over 5,000 janitors in Houston formed a union in late 2005 and then joined SEIU janitors in almost 30 other major cities. According to the SEIU website, the Houston janitors will soon begin negotiating a "master agreement." see also Justice for Janitors

Security workers

SEIU has made the U.S. private security industry a project by partnering with unions abroad (such as Sweden-based Securitas AB), community allies, civil rights organizations, community groups and churches to lobby for "career growth for a largely African-American workforce." SEIU represents more than 50,000 officers who work in the public and private sector.

Child care workers

In Illinois, 49,000 family child care providers joined SEIU and won a contract including training incentives, health benefits, and pay increases, they raised the bar for quality child care services across the country. SEIU represents more than 200,000 people who work in child care and early education.

Wal-Mart workers

SEIU led public campaigns across the map in 2005 against corporate Wal-Mart, successfully. In New Hampshire and California, workers fought corporate retirement security changes and helped pass bill in Maryland to be sure profitable corporations (like Wal-Mart) pay "their fair share" of their employee's healthcare. SEIU members helped raise $11.8 billion for public services in 15 states. The group helped get a pair of ballot initiatives passed that raised California revenues to maintain emergency centers in Los Angeles and Alameda Counties.

SEIU local bases have worked with the Wal-Mart Alliance for Reform Now.

Since Sliced Bread

Since Sliced Bread was a project with the SEIU, to which the Open Society Institute contributed a $100,000 grand in 2006 for a 15-month term.
