Member Organizer Many SEIU members are dedicated to organizing other healthcareprofessionals. SEIU members know that we must stand together and organize for strength in our industry and geographical area. The more union healthcare professionals we have in Minnesota, the more power we have to negotiate better health benefits, higher pay, good pensions and improved working conditions. The larger our union and the more healthcare professionals we have working
together in our uion, the more strength we have to change the direction of healthcare in our state and our country.
As a member of our Union, you have the opportunity to be at the forefront of helping our Union grow even faster. Unorganized healthcare professionals want and need to hear directly from those who perform the same jobs, but have the benefit of being Union. This is why every SEIU member must be an organizer!
If you would like more information or you are interested in becoming a Member Organizer, contact the Organizing Department at 651-294-8100.

Become a StewardAn important source of information and assistance is our Union Stewards. They work to develop a plan for communicating with members, while strengthening our Union through internal organizing - talking with members, getting them more active in their Union, etc., as well as assist in providing information to members about political issues that affect working families.
They are members who are leaders in the workplace and have been trained to uphold your contract. Your steward knows the contract and can help answer questions and resolve most problems and grievances.
