Members drafted the vision for a just society

Our vision is of a union and a society:

  • Where all workers and their families live and work in dignity.
  • Where work is fulfilling and fairly rewarded.
  • Where workers have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect them and have the opportunity to develop their talents and skills.
  • Where the collective voice and power of workers is realized in democratic, equitable and progressive unions.
  • Where union solidarity stands firm against the forces of discrimination and hate, against structural racism, and against the unfair employment practices of exploitative employers.
  • Where working people can live in safe and healthy communities.
  • Where government plays an active role in improving the lives of working people.

Leaders are elected every 4 years.

You can read about this in our Constitution:

The Convention of this International Union shall meet every four years and shall convene at such time and place as the International Executive Board may determine upon the recommendation of the International President.
Section 2. Special Conventions may be called upon order of the International Executive Board to convene at such time and place as the Board may determine, and any and all business, including appeals from suspensions and decisions of the International Executive Board, may come before such Special Convention unless specifically limited by the call. Notice of such call shall be given to each Local Union at least 60 days prior to the date of the Special Convention along with the number of delegates to which said Local Union is entitled. All other provisions of this Article shall control all Special Conventions.

These Constitution and Bylaws were adopted at the SEIU 2024 Convention.

Specific, achievable goals clarify the vision as this document guides the membership and its officers in their work.
