On Saturday, October 4th, SEIU Arizona is joining with union members from all over Phoenix to kick-off the 30-day sprint to November 4th.  This will be an exciting event as hundreds of us gather to hear how the work we have been doing - and the work we're going to do in the next month - can make the difference in bringing REAL change to Arizona.

Carol Martsch Re-Elected in Tempe

State Chapter Monthly Meetings

The SEIU State Campaign will begin having regular monthly Union Meetings starting in September.  These will be ongoing opportunities to meet with fellow members, find out what's happening, and plan the next steps in our Chapter's growth.

Growing ... and Growing Up

 SEIU Arizona is a union built by and for our members.  As each of our chapters expands its membership, the pool of skilled, talented people to run those chapters also increases.

State Employees Take Action on the Budget

May 3 Political Conference

In the short time since state employees started building our new union with SEIU:

 Hundreds of state members have met with and talked with lawmakers about the budget.  
 Our Purple Brigade, currently 188 members committed to political change (and growing), is now the largest independent political force in the state and is on the streets every weekend talking to voters about candidates who recognize the value of state workers and who, when elected, will welcome our participation when important decisions need to be made.
 We've launched a big campaign to gain the same freedom to form a union and negotiate improvements that employees who work for private businesses and cities like Tempe and Chandler already possess.

Stop Payday Predators
No on 200:  It's No Reform at All!  We trust that Arizona voters are smart and won't fall for the deceptive advertising.  They'll understand that a 'yes' vote means 391% interest rates while a 'no' vote means a cap of 36%.  That's an easy choice.
