Issues & Action

By standing together, members of SEIU Healthcare Minnesota are winning better wages, health care, and more secure jobs for our communities. But our work doesn’t end there.

We are working to improve the lives of our co-workers, our neighbors, and our entire community. As a union of health care workers, we support good jobs that can support a family; quality, affordable health care for everyone; and a secure retirement for all working Minnesotans.
