	Service Employees International Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1995, SEIU President John Sweeney was elected president of the AFL-CIO, the labor federation that serves as an umbrella organization for unions.
		In 2003, SEIU was a founding member of the New Unity Partnership, an organization of unions which pushed for reforms at the national level, and most importantly, a greater commitment to organizing unorganized workers into unions.
		In 2005, SEIU was a founding member of the Change to Win Coalition, which furthered the reformist agenda, criticizing the AFL-CIO for focusing its attention on election politics, instead of taking sufficient action to encourage organizing in the face of decreasing union membership.

	Trade union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unions may organise a particular section of skilled workers (craft unionism), a cross-section of workers from various trades (general unionism), or attempt to organise all workers within a particular industry (industrial unionism).
		From the beginning unions could be viewed as a reflection of the racial disunity of the country, with the earliest unions being predominantly for white workers.
		The legal status of trade unions in the United Kingdom was established by a Royal Commission in 1867, which agreed that the establishment of the organizations was to the advantage of both employers and employees.

		Page further states that she told employees that the Union would be looking into the reasons behind the reorganization, that the question had already been raised in the Union office, and that a Union vice president was looking into it.
		While the Union argues in mitigation that it was engaged in investigation and made proposals concerning the reduction-in-force, its investigation of the matter and attempts to negotiate appear rather cursory prior to the filing of the instant unfair labor practice charge.
		Accordingly, it is found that the Union's conduct in soliciting membership from employees in duty status is prohibited by section 7131(b) and in violation of section 7116(b)(1) and (8) of the Statute.

	Service Employees International Union (SEIU)
		Organizer and first international president William F. Quesse revived the union in 1912, securing alliances with other building trades unions by agreeing to limit the repair work janitors could perform and targeting smaller apartment buildings rather than downtown interests.
		From 1940 to 1960, the SEIU was led by President William McFetridge, a nephew of Quesse and a close confidant of Mayor Richard J. Daley.
		In the second half of the twentieth century, the SEIU began organizing health care and public sector workers, reaching 80,000 members in the Chicago area in 2000, roughly half of whom were women and one-quarter of whom were minorities.

	Service Employees Int'l Union v. Local 1199 N.E., SEIU
		During the negotiations mandated by the arbitrator, the International, according to the Local, refused to negotiate over a reduction in or a reasonable repayment schedule for the per capita taxes or a waiver of the late fees, unless the Local arranged for the withdrawal of the O'Neil lawsuit that its members had brought in Connecticut.
		Instead, the issue is whether the International, in refusing to do other than extract its maximum recovery unless the Local secured the withdrawal of its members' lawsuit, violated the members' "right to sue."[7] Two distinct issues are presented: payment of the per capita taxes and payment of the late fee.
		The Local argues that the district court erred in granting the International's motion to compel arbitration and in not granting both the Local's motion to have the case transferred to Connecticut for consolidation with the O'Neil case and its motion to stay the Massachusetts action.

	SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION v. HOLLYWOOD PARK, INC. (1983) 149 CA3d 745
		SEIU claims that the trial court erred in sustaining the demurrer to all its causes of action and dismissing it as a plaintiff.
		Petri involved the issue of initial recognition of a union wherein an employer sought an injunction to restrain an outside union from picketing and the union sought an injunction to compel the employer to recognize and bargain with it.
		Under federal law, regardless of whether a union is certified or voluntarily recognized as the exclusive bargaining representative, there is a rebuttable presumption that the union retains its status as the authorized representative of the majority of the employees after the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement.
