SEIU Wisconsin:  Stronger Together

Throughout the proud history of our union, SEIU members in Wisconsin have shown that our power is rooted in the strength in numbers we gain when we stand together. In 2023, to improve communication and support for members and build more power for working people, members of SEIU Local 152, SEIU Local 1 in Wisconsin, and SEIU Healthcare Wisconsin voted to bring together 7,000 workers into one unified local:  SEIU Wisconsin.

By taking this step, we are creating:

• A stronger voice for better jobs. By uniting 7,000 service and healthcare workers across Wisconsin into one local union, we will speak with a more powerful voice at the negotiating table with employers, giving us more power to stand up for good wages and benefits.
• The power to fight for a better future for Wisconsin’s working families. Uniting in SEIU Wisconsin gives us the power to come together across race, gender, background and industries to fight for a state where all of our families can thrive. Using our union’s resources more efficiently and uniting the talents, expertise, and power of our members helps us organize more working Wisconsinites to join our fight so that all working people are respected, protected, and paid living wages.
