SEIU Local 925 Endorses McGinn for Mayor
This morning, Local 925 of the SEIU endorsed Mike McGinn for Mayor of Seattle.
With a membership over 23,000, the union represents workers in education and public service across the state, including employees of the University of Washington, public schools in western Washington, and family child-care workers.
The SEIU is Washington’s largest union, with 100,000 members in the state and 1.8 million nationally.
Monday’s endorsement was the second major union endorsement for McGinn in the last week, following the UFCW Local 21, which endorsed last Wednesday.
Congratulations, Mike! The SEIU and UFCW endorsements show that you are in touch with labor concerns of working people in Seattle’s neighborhoods and small businesses. It’s refreshing to see endorsements made without the quid pro quo of supporting massive spending for elephantine public-works projects like the tunnel.
