Our members with the Oregon University System register new students, provide health services on campus, manage grant programs, maintain the grounds, and do many other unseen jobs that keep Oregon's public university campuses safe and running smoothly.
SEIU Homecare members make it possible for seniors and disabled people to live in dignity in their own homes as long as possible. We advocate for our clients not only in day-to-day living, but politically to protect funding for crucial services like affordable prescription drugs.
