Today, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has rejoined the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), marking a significant event in the labor movement. The AFL-CIO is recognized as the largest federation of labor unions in the United States and plays an influential role for workers nationwide.
The SEIU, known for representing two million care and service workers, brings its influence back to the AFL-CIO with this affiliation. This reunion is expected to aid workers across various sectors in organizing efforts, achieving higher wages, securing better benefits, and enhancing retirement security.
President Joe Biden expressed his support for this development. "I am proud to be the most pro-labor President in American history – and I’m proud to congratulate American workers on this important milestone," he stated.
