The Service Employees International Union, representing nearly two million workers, is joining the A.F.L.-C.I.O. to expand union membership and protect workers' rights amidst a less union-friendly federal government.
April Verrett noted that discussions regarding joining the A.F.L.-C.I.O. accelerated as early as last year, indicating a strategic move to enhance labor's stance against a Republican administration.
The partnership aims to facilitate changes in laws and support multiunion campaigns, showcasing a proactive approach from labor groups in light of potential threats under the Trump administration.
The leaders maintained that this alliance is not just a reaction to the election results but a strategic collaboration to bolster organized labor's resilience moving forward.
