Mary Kay Henry Elected President of SEIU

SEIU's International Executive Board met in Washington, DC today and elected Mary Kay Henry to succeed Andy Stern as President of our 2.2 million member strong union. Shortly after the vote, President Henry sent a video to SEIU members announcing her election and sharing her vision for our union. Watch the video here.

"This moment marks a renewed commitment to our union’s core mission: to improve the lives of all workers who are struggling to make ends meet in this economy,” Henry said.  “Working people are facing hardships we haven’t seen in generations, and we believe SEIU can be an even more effective vehicle for change to help them improve their lives and the lives of the people they serve."

“We will get this done by renewing our commitment to organizing, connecting our members at the grassroots level to our political strength and restoring our relationships throughout the American labor movement"
