SEIU represents more than 300,000 Republican members and together we are working to build a pro-working family Republican Party—engaging Republicans on the issues that matter to working people, electing pro-working family Republican candidates, and running for office themselves.

SEIU Members Form Republican Member Advisory Committee
Following SEIU’s first Republican Member Conference in 2006, members from across the country formed SEIU’s Republican Member Advisory Committee to engage Republican SEIU members and politicians on the issues that matter to workers. The ad hoc committee is made up of members named by the SEIU President. SEIU Republican activists have served on the Committee from affiliates in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Idaho, Washington State, California and Nevada. The Committee most recently re-convened in December of 2010 and is working to identify its goals and next steps for 2011 and beyond. For more information on the Republican Advisory Committee sign-up using the form to the right or contact [e-mail].



I was under the understanding that Republicans were against everything that unions stood for...maybe I need enlightening?

1. Not your father's republican party.

Their was a time when Republicans worked with Unions in some places. Illinois has had working relationships between Unions and gop pols. The anti-union aspect has risen with the conservative domination of the gop. It is no longer acceptable to even be a moderate in the gop.

2. I wish them luck finding and 'electing pro-working family Republican candidates'.

3. In WI the unions always worked with the Republicans

even Tommy Thompson worked with them. If Unions are to survive, they are going to have to have friends in both parties.

4. A very good example of why working people vote against their best interests. They are

dumb and uninformed. Hilarious, "working to identify its goals."
