Why Do We Need A Union For Public Service Employees?

Building a nation that puts children and working families before big corporations and the rich means ensuring access to quality public services that everyone can count on.

Every day, SEIU members work to make communities across the country safe, clean, and healthy. We provide all of the services that make local and state governments work. People receiving mental health services and their families count on SEIU members who work hard to ensure their needs are met. From kindergarten to college, SEIU members make education work and keep schools running for millions of students across the country.

By joining together in SEIU, public service employees are uniting with the families we serve, advocates, community leaders, and elected officials to set the best standards for public services:

• Adequate staffing levels to ensure quality and accessibility.
  
• Good wages and benefits that will help attract and retain qualified, experienced staff.
  
• Proper training and equipment to help all public service employees do our best.
