A Transformative Year in Labor

2014 was a year like no other. We are in the midst of an exciting and groundbreaking era for labor–and SEIU 721 has been at the forefront of this transformation. We are leading the fight on multiple fronts–working to protect middle-class jobs, push for a $15 minimum wage, and hold banks and big corporations accountable for paying their fair share.
