    JOB TITLE:

    MGT F; $129,074.61


    LOCATION:
    Washington, DC


    ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW:


    The 2 million members united in the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are at the forefront of a movement to build power for working people and empower all workers to form unions, no matter what job they do.

    SEIU members are from every walk of life, every political party, every background, and every faith.

    They come from communities with their own stories and strengths, and that makes the Union all the more powerful because there's strength in numbers.

    SEIU members work across the healthcare spectrum providing high-quality care and services. They are the workers who keep our nation's airports running and make sure landmark buildings are clean and secure. They provide essential public services and give a foundation of learning to our youngest and brightest.

    SEIU members believe in and are fighting for a Just Society where all workers are valued and all people respected-no matter where they come from or what color they are; where all families and communities can thrive; and where we leave a better and more equitable world for generations to come.
