The SEIU has basically admitted that they caused strikes as a way to campaign for Biden and the Democrats, while they have also pledged to spend an unheard of amount for the election. This union is subverting the will of the American people by working to intimidate companies, shut down the voices of their members, and reach non-citizens to get them to vote.
SEIU Moves
Here, via the SEIU website, is how they plan to help the Democrats.
“SEIU planning biggest political program ever to reach 6 million multiracial voters in battleground states and build on momentum of a year of strikes
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) today announced a massive drive to mobilize working class voters—Black, white, Latino, Asian—in key battleground states and congressional districts to build on the momentum of the past year of worker strikes and union organizing and win Unions for All.
Coming off a wave of worker strikes resulting in unprecedented wins—from Kaiser caregivers to autoworkers, Starbucks baristas to UPS drivers, Hollywood writers and actors to California fast food workers—workers will now take that energy from the strike lines to the ballot box to elect leaders like President Biden who have stood with workers.
“Our votes are our demand for a better future,” said SEIU Secretary-Treasurer April Verrett. “Workers walked the picket lines for better pay and better jobs, and we will vote for the same reasons. Workers of all races know what’s at stake in this election, and will take our energy from the strike lines to the ballot box to support candidates who side with us instead of price-gouging, union-busting corporations.”
SEIU will spend $200 million unionwide on engaging voters, the union’s largest election investment ever. The union aims to reach 6 million voters of color in the important battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. The union will engage multiracial working class voters who are less likely to vote or have never voted at all through field programs, relational organizing, earned media, and paid media, partnering with community groups who are trusted messengers in their communities. This work increased turnout by 27% in 2022 with voters that the coalition reached.
The union and its allies have been on the doors talking to voters since September 2023, with voter contact canvasses knocking on the doors of half a million voters in eight states already. They found that the economy is voters’ number one issue, including rising prices, low wages, and specific challenges in healthcare and the costs of care, including home care and childcare, housing, and food prices. Multiracial working class voters also experience attacks on reproductive rights as an economic issue, impacting their ability to decide when and how to raise a family.
SEIU’s focus on turning out multiracial working class voters includes driving messages out in seven languages to reach voters where they are at. For example, the union has a robust media strategy that taps into Spanish-speaking local markets with earned media coverage, opinion pieces, and creative paid media, including ad buys on streaming platforms such as Youtube, where a significant number of Latinos get news and information.
SEIU endorsed President Biden last April, and plans to drive a message in battleground states that paints a picture of a future where all workers can join unions and contrasts how the president has backed workers with how Donald Trump has sided with big corporations and tried to take healthcare coverage and reproductive rights away from millions.”
This is what to expect this year. The SEIU was responsible for Occupy Wall Street and is admitting to want to shape this election. People need aware of this organization for this reason.
