32BJ SEIU
32BJ SEIU is the largest property service workers union in the country, representing more than 175,000 office cleaners, security officers, doormen, porters, maintenance workers, bus drivers and aides, window cleaners, school cleaners and food service workers in twelve states and Washington, DC. 32BJ members work in residential buildings, commercial offices, airports, university and college campuses, public schools, theaters, museums arenas and stadiums. Our members come from 64 different countries and speak 28 different languages, and are united in a single fight for fairness and decency. Since 1999, 32BJ has nearly tripled in size and organized thousands of working men and women into a union, most recently nearly 10,000 contracted airport workers who had been working for poverty wages. 32BJ has passed dozens of local and state policies protecting and lifting working families up and down the East Coast, and has been a leader in the Fight for $15 since the first strike of 200 fast food workers in New York City in 2012. Our mission is to build and grow a diverse, effective, politically independent and democratic organization of workers to change our lives for the better, improve our communities, and build a more just society for present and future generations. We do our work guided by hope and optimism; grounded in the strength of diversity and unity; and driven forward by the power of working families taking collective action.
