We're Building Political Power for Minnesota's Working Families!

The mission of the SEIU Minnesota State Council is to improve the lives of working people and their families. The State Council coordinates the electoral and legislative work of the SEIU Locals in Minnesota to increase the effectiveness of our collective bargaining and new member organizing campaigns. By building the political involvement of SEIU members throughout the state, the State Council is working to improve the lives of all Minnesotans.

SEIU is the fastest-growing union in North America, with 1.8 million members in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. SEIU members are winning better wages, health care, and more secure jobs for our communities, while uniting our strength with our counterparts around the world to help ensure that workers, not just corporations and CEOs, benefit from today's global economy.

Focused on uniting workers in four sectors -  hospital systems,   long term care,  property services, and  public services–-SEIU is the largest health care union, the largest property services union, and the second-largest public employees union. 

SEIU in Minnesota unites over 28,000 members of four Local Unions and the State Council to build power and win real improvements in the lives of working people and their families. All of the Local Unions are governed by either a Board of Directors or Leadership Council comprised of member leaders of the union.
