Why Politics Matters to Union Members
Politics isn’t just about elections—it’s about ensuring policies reflect the needs of hardworking people like you. Decisions made by elected officials can impact:

Pay and benefits for state employees.
Funding for public services that you rely on daily.
Laws and protections for safe, equitable workplaces.

As a union member, your voice and action can help shape these decisions. By participating in our Regional Political Meetings, you’re stepping up to protect what matters most: your rights, your job, and your future.

We are excited to announce 2025’s Final Action Lab (AST): Mobilizing Members for Action. This training is designed to empower stewards to effectively organize key worksite issues. Stewards will learn to recognize site-specific priorities and understand the foundational elements of a successful workplace campaign. This will be an OPEN FORUM, so feel free to bring your own questions, tips, and tricks to share with your steward community for this final training of the year!
If you’re interested in taking on a training role next year, please email mwhite@seiu1000.org. We have plenty of opportunities available, and all experience levels are welcome! Our 2026 Course Catalogue will be released in January.
