  • Activism Drove Victories in Capitol
    “Thanks in large part to an avalanche of member activism, we have had some great victories in the last couple of weeks in the Capitol,” SEIU 503 political director Arthur Towers reports.
  • “What Do We Want? Fairness!”
    After the marching and slogans and speeches and songs, the message came down to a simple chant rising from Terry Schrunk Plaza and echoing off the Portland skyscrapers around it: “What do we want? Fairness! When do we want it? Now!”
  • Take Action Now! Protect critical public services
    There is a record and growing demand for public services in the face of a $4 billion shortfall between what would be required to find current service levels in 2009-11 and the revenue the state anticipates it will have.
  • United for Oregon March: Sunday June 7
    Join SEIU members and community, political, religious and labor leaders who will converge from across the state in a huge march in downtown Portland on Sunday June 7.
  • Speak Out on Proposed State Budget Cuts
    Legislators are holding hearings in eight Oregon communities between April 20 and May 1. Please plan to attend a hearing to tell our community and legislators why we need to protect and adequately fund the services we provide.
