The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is a liberal organization with 1.9 million members in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The SEIU says they are "dedicated to improving the lives of workers and their families and creating a more just and humane society". The SEIU represents four service industry "divisions":

• Public Services – SEIU is the second largest union of public service employees composed of local and state government workers, public school employees, bus drivers, and child care providers.
• Property Services – SEIU is the largest property services union, with workers who protect and clean commercial and residential office buildings, and is the largest security union, with private security officers and public safety personnel.
