Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is a labor union in the United States, representing 1.8 million workers in about 100 occupations in the United States and Canada. The main divisions are health care (around 50% of the union's membership, including hospital, home care and nursing home workers), public services (government employees), and property services (including janitors and security officers). With over 300 local branches, SEIU is affiliated with the Change to Win Federation and the Canadian Labour Congress. It is based in Washington, D.C., and is structured into seven internal departments: Communications, Education, Human Rights, International Affairs, Organization, Political, and Research.
SEIU is sometimes referred to as the "purple army," easily recognized at political events thanks to the union's purple shirts. The union is also known for its Justice for Janitors campaigns.
The SEIU was founded in 1921 in Chicago; its first members were janitors, elevator operators, and window washers. Membership skyrocketed with a strike in New York City's Garment District in 1934. Formerly known as the Building Service Employees' International Union, it absorbed the International Jewelry Workers Union in 1980 and later the Drug, Hospital, and Health Care Employees Union and Local 1199, Health & Human Services Workers.
