I work for SEIU, as a turf organizer among hospital workers in
Las Vegas. While I’m 26 and a fairly party-line purple militant,
I believe you’ll find I— like most actual organizers, staff, and
officers of SEIU— defy the stereotypes about us. My mom was a
nurse, and I’ve been both a janitor and nursing home employee; I
didn’t go to college, I plan to continue organizing for the rest
of my adult life (pays better than moving furniture!), and I
maintain a certain amount of agnostic, critical attitude towards
my patron.Jim,
Welcome, to a union organizer!
I for one would like to welcome you, and even though I only participate in the discussion here when we hit an odd topic… I would like you to know that having an actual union organizer on the list will be pure pleasure. I hope you can share your thoughts often.
Me too. Welcome, Jim.
