Will it help the drought? The union groups' executive boards each unanimously approved the combination on Wednesday, with plans to formally announce the affiliation at a Thursday roundtable discussion in Austin, Texas, with workers who are attempting to become union members. There are roughly 2 million SEIU workers in the health care, janitorial and food services sectors, among others.
The SEIU, along with the Teamsters union, left the AFL-CIO in 2005. At the time, the SEIU leadership saw the AFL-CIO as insufficient at slowing the declining share of U.S. workers who belong to unions. The decline has largely continued over the past 20 years, but union leadership says that 60 million workers would like to be unionized if they could.
