Why Organize?

Healthcare professionals organize with SEIU Healthcare Minnesota to have a say in how their workplace operates, giving them the opportunity to sit down with management in order to problem solve as equals. This puts them in a position to establish better staffing guidelines and more reasonable workloads, preserve professional standards, and stand up for quality patient care. Additionally they have the power to negotiate for the health, retirement, vacation, sick leave, and other benefits their families need the most. SEIU Healthcare Minnesota members have guaranteed rewards for hard work and a pay system that recognizes longevity and the cost of living. They have the ability to set fair rules and bring employment security into their workplaces.


What is a Member Organizer?

Many SEIU members are dedicated to organizing other healthcare professionals. 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.
