Over the years it has grown in size and scope, now comprising three divisions:<br /> healthcare, property services, and public services. With the number of retired SEIU members<br /> growing, SEIU developed a series of four workshops to address the needs of this population. The creation of the Retired Members Department soon followed. The Retired Members Department Records provide insight into these initial workshops, as well as the overall department. Document formats within the records primarily include transcripts, correspondence, agenda, and handouts.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/10037#comments Hardy, George, 1911- Labor unions--Records and correspondence Older people Retirees Retirement.
