Message to our Membership

President Freeman is taking a temporary leave of absence while SEIU International completes its internal audit.

President Freeman made this decision to ensure that the audit is completed without any question of interference or influence. While on leave, the daily operations of SEIU 6434 will be overseen by representatives of our International union.

We want to reassure our members that our union will continue to move forward with its same dedication in the fight for worker rights and those we care for.

The latest edition of the Los Angeles Sentinel features a front page story on SEIU-ULTCW president Tyrone Freeman. Here's an excerpt:

Freeman’s activities transcend SEIU because he knows that one union cannot fit the needs of all workers. At a recent convention of several unions, he complimented them on their outstanding performances and urged them forward.

“Our challenge today is about the opportunity to change the lives of the workers and long-term care through pressing strategy that we believe have made a significant difference,” he said.

Larry Brown, president of Angel City Branch 24 of the National Association of Letter Carriers, said of his union colleague, “He’s a young dynamic labor leader; he has put his money where his mouth is for the good of the labor movement and America as a whole. He has done wonders with that home care workers union; he took them from being local to being known nation wide.”
