SEIU is back at the AFL-CIO table.

In January 2025, SEIU’s 2 million members rejoined the AFL-CIO after nearly 20 years apart — bringing the federation to nearly 15 million members. This is the first AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention with President April Verrett on the floor as an affiliated international president — a reunion that reshapes the modern American labor movement.

A CITY BUILT BY THE LABOR MOVEMENT
Minneapolis · Minnesota
NATIONAL LEADERSHIP · AFL-CIO HEADQUARTERS, WASHINGTON D.C.

Standing with the leaders of America's unions

President Liz Shuler is the first woman to lead the AFL-CIO in its 70-year history — a relentless voice for clean-energy jobs, the PRO Act, and rebuilding the American labor movement from the ground up. Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond is the first Black officer to hold the federation's #2 role — a 50-year Steelworker who built a career organizing for civil rights and economic justice. Memphis & West Tennessee CLC President Kevin Bradshaw has been honored to stand with both of them — and we are doubly honored to be in Minneapolis for the convention they are leading.

INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY · AFL-CIO GLOBAL ARM

Workers fight the same fight in every country.

The Solidarity Center is the AFL-CIO's international affiliate — building stronger unions and worker movements in 60+ countries. Multinational corporations cross borders to drive down wages; workers must cross them to defend each other. Convention delegates have a direct seat at this work through your union's international solidarity committee.

Active in 60+ countries — Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East
Partners with worker centers, unions, and human-rights groups on wage theft, forced labor, and freedom of association
Founded by the AFL-CIO in 1997; funded by USAID, NED, and union grants
