SEIU: 2.2 MILLION WORKING MEN AND WOMEN FIGHTING FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM
The Service Employees International Union is the largest and fastest growing union in North America. SEIU's mission is to build strength to gain fair wages, healthcare, pensions, safe workplaces, and respect for working Americans.
Thank you for participating in the SEIU Local 500’s 2022 Montgomery County Executive Candidate Questionnaire and Interview Process. SEIU Local 500 will consider your responses so we can make a recommendation to our membership for both your party nomination process and the general election. To help assist us in our endorsement process we ask that you answer each of the following questions as completely as possible.
SEIU represents over 55,000 Healthcare, Property Service, and Public-Sector Workers in Maryland and Washington D.C. Additionally, our union represents 15,000 women and men working in universities, community colleges, public schools, pre-school education, child care, workers in Group-Home Facilities, and several non-profit organizations, all of whom work in service to communities and in the public interest in the DC Metro Area.
CANDIDATE STATEMENT
I affirmatively seek the endorsement and support of SEIU, its members, and their families. In seeking this endorsement, I pledge to support the rights of workers to join a union and collectively bargain. I understand that as a community leader, I may be called upon to help workers form unions, including speaking with employers and urging them to respect these same rights. Further, as an elected official, I will maintain regular contact with SEIU Local leaders and members. Any campaign contribution I may receive is from SEIU members who voluntarily give small monthly donations.
