Over the years it has grown in size and scope, and now comprises three divisions: healthcare, property services, and public services. The records of SEIU’s Communications Department document the International’s mass mailings from 1974 through 1987. Included in the collection are (predominately) monthly summaries listing all the mass mailings sent by the International (with the exceptions of June 1983-October 1983, January 1985-March 1985, and January 1986-December 1987) and copies of the individual mass mailings (with the exception of January 1974-June 1976). </p> <p>These mass mailings collected by the Communications Department were generated by a variety of individuals and departments (including Research and Publications). Topics include human rights and health issues, union resolutions, pensions, politics (including COPE), women (especially 925), scholarships, legislative actions, and various topics relevant to SEIU members. Document formats found within the records include correspondence, memos, articles, newsletters, and flyers.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/10025#comments AFL-CIO Collective bargaining Committee on Political Education (COPE) Cordtz, Richard Health care Health insurance Labor Political action committees Political campaigns SEIU Service Employees International Union Service industries Sweeney, John J., 1934- Weinlein, Anthony G., 1913- Welsh, Bob Women employees Thu, 07 Feb 2013 10:52:19 -0500 aorchard 10025 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/10037 <p>The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) was founded in 1921 as a union of flat<br /> janitors.
