Chartered in 1921, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)
is a worldwide organization that represents more than two million
workers in occupations from healthcare and government service to
custodians and taxi drivers. Women form more than half the
membership while people in minority groups make up approximately
forty percent. Luis LM Aguiar and Joseph A. McCartin edit essays on
one of contemporary labor's bedrock organizations. The contributors
explore key episodes, themes, and features in the union's recent
history and evaluate SEIU as a union with global aspirations and
impact. The first section traces the SEIU's growth in the last and
current centuries. The second section offers in-depth studies of
key campaigns in the United States, including the Justice for
Janitors and Fight for $15 movements. The third section focuses on
the SEIU's work representing low-wage workers in Canada, Australia,
Europe, and Brazil. An interview with Justice for Janitors
architect Stephen Lerner rounds out the volume. Contributors: Luis
LM Aguiar, Adrienne E. Eaton, Janice Fine, Euan Gibb, Laurence
Hamel-Roy, Tashlin Lakhani, Joseph A. McCartin, Yanick Noiseux,
Benjamin L. Peterson, Allison Porter, Alyssa May Kuchinski, Maite
Tapia, Veronica Terriquez, and Kyoung-Hee Yu
