For most of the previous 35 years, though, he was a member turned officer of the Service Employees International Union, having served 15 of those years as its President. The SEIU Executive Office: John Sweeney Records document his tenure during these 15 years, although portions of these records predate his tenure in that office.</p> <p>The records contain files documenting the activities of SEIU local unions, joint councils and other SEIU affiliates. In addition, the files of SEIU executive board members, vice presidents, divisions, departments and staff members are also found within the collection, often within series identified in this manner. Researchers can also review records documenting the meetings, hearings, conventions and conferences Sweeney attended and at which he often spoke or testified. Records documenting SEIU's conventions from its inception in 1921 until 1992 are also found within these records. The records of the conventions reveal the major policy shifts of the union. Sweeney's interest in healthcare are also found within these records in addition to the union's external relationships with labor organizations and others.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/7093#comments AFL-CIO Collective bargaining--County employees Collective bargaining--Government employees Collective bargaining--Health facilities--United States Collective bargaining--Hospitals--United States Collective bargaining--Municipal employees--United States Collective bargaining--Physicians Collective bargaining--Police Collective bargaining--Service industries Collective bargaining--State government employees--United States Collective labor agreements--Government employees--United States Collective labor agreements--Hospitals--United States Collective labor agreements--Municipal employees Collective labor agreements--Nurses Collective labor agreements--Service industries Contract negotiations Grievance arbitration Health care health care employees Health care workers Industrial relations Janitors Labor laws and legislation Labor unions--Factionalism Labor unions--Law and legislation--United States Labor unions--organizing Nursing homes--Employees Public service employment Raiding SEIU Service industries Strike votes Sweeney, John J., 1934- Unfair labor practices United States.
