SEIU Local 521

Representing the employees of SEIU Local 521.

Service Employees International Union, Local 521 (SEIU 521) represents 53,000 public and non-profit, private sector workers in the central Bay Area region and in the Central Valley as well as family child care providers.

Under a Community First vision, we are committed to making sure the needs of our community, and the vital services we provide our community, come first. We believe our communities thrive when residents, leaders, and workers recognize that we are all in this together when it comes to our safety, health, and well-being.

SEIU 521 represents more than 40,000 county, city, and non-profit workers in 17 counties grouped into five regions:

• Region 1: San Mateo & Santa Clara Counties
• Region 2: Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito Counties
• Region 3: Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Mariposa, Mono, Alpine, Merced Counties
• Region 4: Madera & Fresno Counties
• Region 5: Tulare, Kings, Kern, Inyo Counties

We understand that as workers in the labor movement you truly are “in the trenches” doing the work that keeps the labor movement alive. This makes it hard to attend meetings at times when many of you are out mobilizing members or beating the street on organizing drives. Some issues we are currently facing at SEIU and what we are doing about it.
