The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is one of America’s largest, most controversial, and most politically involved labor unions. The SEIU, which represents building services employees, nurses, other healthcare workers, and public employees, is noted for its close ties to the broader left-of-center movement, perhaps most notably the controversial now-defunct community organizing network ACORN and its successor groups.28 The largest SEIU local unions include:

1199SEIU, United Health Care Workers East

1199SEIU is one of the most powerful unions in union-strong New York and a powerful player in that state’s liberal movement.30

SEIU Local 2015

Formed in 2015 from three California SEIU home-healthcare worker local unions, SEIU Local 2015 is one of the newest mega-locals and one of the most controversial within the union.33

SEIU Local 2005, United Healthcare Workers-West

A California mega-local representing nurses and other healthcare workers formed under Andy Stern’s union presidency, United Healthcare Workers-West was later split with much of its home-healthcare membership shifted to Local 2015.50

Michigan has reversed its program entirely, after Republican Governor Rick Snyder replaced Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm in 2011. During the length of the program in Michigan, SEIU’s Michigan affiliate collected over $34 million in dues.54

Notable progressive organizations that received funding from SEIU headquarters in 2015 include the Center for American Progress (CAP) and Center for American Progress Action Fund, the National Employment Law Project (NELP) and its associated action fund, Americans United for Change, Center for Popular Democracy (CPD), New Venture Fund, Progressive Congress, Tides Center and Tides Foundation, Alliance for Justice, Demos, Jobs With Justice Education Fund, League of Conservation Voters (LCV), MoveOn.org, National Action Network, and Planned Parenthood.55

The SEIU and its local unions additionally fund front organizations on the local level that support SEIU corporate campaigns. New York Communities for Change (NYCC), Action NC, and Good Jobs Now have all received funding from SEIU and have been associated with the Fight for $15.60

This political capital makes SEIU and its local affiliates major state political players, especially in states aligned with the Democratic Party. In New York, 1199SEIU has been referred to as the “union that rules New York” for its ability to cajole politicians of both major parties to support its agenda at the state and municipal levels.66 In 2015, SEIU headquarters provided BISC with $180,000 in support.67 Among the campaigns SEIU has supported are efforts to raise minimum wages and increase taxes.98

The SEIU paid Henry $256,185 in gross salary in 2015, with total disbursements received of $296,549.99

Andy Stern

Andy Stern was the immediate past president of SEIU, serving from 1996 to 2010. An aggressive union boss, Stern led SEIU during its tumultuous exit from the AFL-CIO and through a period of substantial membership growth.http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article45232884.html and Associated Press. “Former SEIU chief sentenced in embezzling case.” Southern California Public Radio.
