approved from time to time by the International Union in accordance with its Constitution and Bylaws.The purpose of SEIU 200United is to raise the standard of living of its members in Upstate New York and Pennsylvania and additional regions as designated by the International Union.
The International

SEIU Campaigns for Change
Faculty Forward
Everyone—Black, white and brown—should be able to learn without being trapped in debt and choosing to teach shouldn’t mean living in poverty. College faculty, graduate workers and students are uniting to demand college for all, student debt forgiveness and unions for all. Join our movement.
Unions for All
All working people should have the opportunity to join a union, no matter where we work, to bargain higher wages and better jobs. Join the Fight for $15 and a Union movement’s demand for #UnionsForAll.
Fight for $15
Since 2012 when 200 fast-food workers first went on strike, the Fight for $15 and a Union has become an international, multi-racial, worker-led movement demanding $15 an hour and union rights at McDonald’s and across the economy. Today, over 30% of all U.S. workers are on a path to $15 an hour.
Introducing SEIU's New President, April Verrett!
Just elected by SEIU members like me, April is our first Black President!
At SEIU’s recent convention in my hometown of Philadelphia, I just had the profound honor of helping SEIU elect its BRAND NEW President and leadership team. We voted for leaders who have the backs of SEIU’s 2 million members, as well as millions more workers across our country.
