The American economy was in recession and national politics were not hospitable to organized labor. Yet, SEIU grew by 500,000 members. By 1992, SEIU reached the million-member mark. The membership achievements of SEIU can be largely credited to the efforts of its Organizing Department. The primary responsibility of the SEIU Organizing Department was to organize the unorganized. The SEIU Organizing Department sought to gain new membership for the International through targeting building service, healthcare, clerical and public sector employees. Additionally, the Organizing Department gained new SEIU members through the affiliation of formerly independent organizations and unions. </p> <p>Records from this collection chronicle the expansion of SEIU through organizing campaigns and affiliations, during a period when American organized labor was contracting. The collection contains affiliation agreements, newspaper clippings, correspondence, memorandum, handwritten notes, flyers, brochures, statistics, surveys, agendas, meeting minutes, organizing plans, subsidy requests and recommendations, budgets, buttons, posters, agreements, a cassette tape, reports, expense reports, training materials, organizational charts, speeches, photographs, questionnaire, and anti-union literature. These records provide insight into the planning and strategies behind SEIU’s organizing campaigns, which led to SEIU growth. </p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/7645#comments Affiliation Agreement AFL-CIO Blue Cross Blue Shield California State Employees Association Civil rights Clinton, Bill, 1946- Health care workers Jackson, Jesse, 1941- Janitors Justice for Janitors Labor unions--organizing Nursing Home SEIU Service Employees International Union Service industries Stern, Andy, 1950- Sweeney, John J., 1934- Mon, 16 May 2011 15:50:23 -0400 aorchard 7645 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/12552 <p>Second national dignity nursing home conference in Cleveland, 1996.</p> <p>Grim reaper and coffin demonstration in Cleveland, Ohio.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/12552#comments Demonstrating, Campaigning, and Organizing (SEIU) Health care health care employees Health care workers Industrial relations Labor disputes Nursing Home Picketing SEIU Service Employees International Union Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:55:13 -0500 gstrassel 12552 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/12553 <p>SEIU Photographs Collection; Events, 1996</p> <p>Second national dignity nursing home conference in Cleveland.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/12553#comments Demonstrating, Campaigning, and Organizing (SEIU) health care employees Health care workers Labor disputes Nursing Home SEIU Service Employees International Union Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:59:25 -0500 gstrassel 12553 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/12610 <p>Meeting with Locals 585, 668, and 1199 PA in Carlisle, Pennsylvania to discuss bargaining between Beverly nursing homes and their employees.
