what is the SEIU??

We are the Service Employees International Union, an organization of 2.1 million members united by the belief in the dignity and worth of workers and the services they provide and dedicated to improving the lives of workers and their families and creating a more just and humane society.

Find out more about the work we do:

» SEIU Healthcare
» Public Services
» Property Services

SEIU is the fastest-growing union in North America. Focused on uniting workers in three sectors to improve their lives and the services they provide, SEIU is:

The largest healthcare union, with more than 1.1 million members in the field, including nurses, LPNs, doctors, lab technicians, nursing home workers, and home care workers
The largest property services union, with 225,000 members in the building cleaning and security industries, including janitors, security officers, superintendents, maintenance workers, window cleaners, and doormen and women
The second largest public services union, with more than 1 million local and state government workers, public school employees, bus drivers, and child care providers

once more we have a comment from our friend lisa that was utterly embarrassing for her (I would hope!). So to you lisa, the next time you step foot outside your front door you are liable to encounter a member of the SEIU. You should be thanking them for the work they do because it most likely affects your daily life in one form or another!

The Public Option will do no more than feed the SEIU and other local unions who are made up of illiterate sub-standard government employees.

Lisa said...: that ought keep hospitals opened when they have to payout like the car companies. Oh can you see strikes to come in the future of the health care industry? Not to mention that massive cap and tax bill looming in the shadows that will help add to the cost of running all that life saving equipment. Looks like rationing will be a reality and not a so called "myth".
I say run now before disaster strikes or before I get the chance to say "I told you so"
Sue did you always have all this confidence in government or do you truly believe this is a government we can finally trust and has you and all the rest of us in it's best interest?
I know love is blind but I don't trust anyone that much.
Good for you that you see this as somehting that will just be soooo great. What I see is a bankrupt government and a bankrupt country with more unemployed bankrupt citizens all waitng n the bread line for a morsel from our government. You know like the Cuban and Venezuelan example they model themselves after.
Like I said before be careful what you wish for,it ain't all that.; September 28, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Lisa said...: The only thing the SEIU will do from me is tax me to pay for all their benefits like what happened in California. The public employee sector makes up most of that state and the private sector keeps moving out because they can't afford to support all those perks anymore.; September 28, 2009 at 9:45 PM
B.J. said...: Lisa:

Why don’t you leave Sue alone? She apparently is excited about the possibility of positive change in our country, while you, on the other hand, can only follow the talking points of a disgrunteled and marginalized political party. I cannot imagine your life that you can spend so much time on this one blog. Go exercise free speech somewhere else. I am tired of listening to your spiel.

But, before you go, scroll down to the next post and click on the link to Paul Krugman’s post on healthcare. If it makes sense to you, don’t panic. It’s just that Krugman couldn’t make what he says any clearer. Open your mind to the possibility of learning something!

Lisa said...: well BJ I am just trying to show that this "change" is not all it's cracked up to be. She lives in NJ and the same thing with public employees is the same thing happening in CA and the if we add a "Public Option" to that who do you think funds that? The Public.
Meanwhile the gap between rich and poor has widenend more than ever. So apparently in the last 9 months the rich have gotten even richer and the poor has gotten even poorer and once we add all the other things this administration has in store we can expect to be just so well of with all this change. Now they say they want illegals to have access(you know the lie)
I guess it's better to have everyone poor instead of just some. Then we can all be happy.; September 29, 2009 at 9:44 AM
Lisa said...: The silence is also deafening over the 11 million dollars Wall Street lobbyists gave to the democrats this year. Oh yes "Change" we can believe in.
Not to mention the 500 million we gave to a Denmark company to make an electric car that Al Gore is all invested in.Sio if it fails no loss to him because he always has the taxpayers to cover his arse.Yep the American people are the democrats "Money Pit" and we keep chanting love songs to the dear leader.

Time to take the country back.....for real this time.; September 29, 2009 at 12:27 PM
TomCat said...: Lisa, you call the SEIU workers ignorant. Can you tell me why it is that the only educational demographics McCain carried in the last Presidential election are HS grad and less. Obama carried all the educational demographics from Some college and up. On that basis, doesn't it follow that the term n"ignorant", while I'm not referring to you personally, is more descriptive of those on your side of the political fence?; September 29, 2009 at 12:44 PM
Lisa said...: This isn't about McCain Tom Cat but nice diversion.; September 29, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Sue said...: and Tom isn't making it about McCain, he's making it about you and your ignorance lisa.

I told you before this isn't a highschool chatroom, so unless somebody is actually debating your non-sensical comments please refrain!; September 29, 2009 at 1:26 PM
The CDM said...: It appears my conclusions of lisa just keeps getting clearer and clearer. It's one thing to be a hater, but to be a hater AND ignorant...scandalous.; September 29, 2009 at 2:41 PM
Lisa said...: I'm a hater because Wall street and Lobbyists have the democrats in their back pockets? OK now I've heard it all.
And the Unions too. Don't want to leave out SEIU.
Oh did you hear bout the ACORN guy who is a new member of the White House Staff. You know that organization Obama had no idea was getting government funding.
They are so in bed with everyone they may as well be James Cahn in Misery.
If it weren't so sad I'd laugh.
I used to not be religious but I have started to pray again.; September 29, 2009 at 5:04 PM
The CDM said...: ...and quickly delete them.; September 29, 2009 at 6:17 PM
Anonymous said...: This person Lisa is a silly twit. George Bush had a luncheon to celebrate Ramadan. And why not? Muslims are U.S. citizens, too. This country ain't WASP World. Everyone is right, this person is one ignorant woman.; September 30, 2009 at 2:56 AM
