SEIU Unified in Support of Bold, New Program

Delegates Leave Puerto Rico Unified in Support of Bold New Program On Wednesday, June 4, in San Juan at SEIU’s 24th International Convention, member delegates overwhelmingly voted in support of a unity resolution. “After months of discussion inside and outside our union leading up to the Convention, nearly fifty hours of passionate debate and open discussion at the Convention, and vote after vote by the delegates, one thing has become abundantly clear," the resolution reads. "We are unified…. Now it is time for us to get to work." As part of the resolution, the members committed to honor, respect, and implement the decisions made by this Convention, hold each other accountable for these decisions, and have respect for all the voices that have made us stronger and pledge to engage in constructive debate going forward. The member delegates on June 4 also launched a new global action to take back the economy. For more information, visit www.July17Action.org
