SEIU 1021 Information
Why Membership Matters
Workers stand together in SEIU 1021 to fight for better wages, job security, healthcare, retirement security, paid sick days, vacation and other benefits. United in our union, we’ve not only won strong contracts and enforced them but also amplified the voices of working people in our economy and society. So-called “right to work,” funded by the corporate elites and the wealthy 1%, seeks to take away our ability to join together to negotiate a fair return on our work.
While these are real challenges for us, they’re not insurmountable if we hold firmly to the values that unite us: fairness, freedom, and equal opportunity for everyone to succeed, not just the wealthy 1%. This moment in our history is calling on all of us, as union members and as members of a social and economic justice movement, to stick together and use our power in numbers.
Member Benefits
In addition to standing together with your coworkers and having a stronger voice for better wages and working conditions, being an SEIU 1021 member has its benefits.
- The greater the union membership at a workplace, the more power workers have at the bargaining table. Power in numbers directly translates to increasing our chances of winning a good contract.
- Only members have a vote — in choosing contract priorities, union and chapter office, and whether we go on strike, and whether to ratify a contract.
- Another benefit of being a union member includes being able to participate in trainings and courses available exclusively for SEIU 1021 members. These include Continuing Education Opportunities (CEUs), briefings on political issues impacting working families’ lives, our membership convention, and courses for developing stewards and member leaders.
- Members are eligible for many benefits, including scholarship awards, services, discounts, and coupons.
