"32BJSEIU is an affiliate of SEIU, the Service Employees International Union, which has 2.1 million members dedicated to raising industry standards, making life better for working families and communities, and building a fair economy. Their mission is to build and grow a diverse, effective, politically independent and democratic organization of workers to change lives for the better, improve communities, and build a more just society for present and future generations. Their members primarily are cleaners, property maintenance workers, doormen, security officers, window cleaners, building engineers, and school and food service workers. But their ranks include railroad and factory workers as well. 32BJSEIU is concentrated in the Northeast – in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. – but their reach extends to southern Florida and as far west as Montana."
