Labor Day weekend in Wisconsin is not just an extra day off for that final barbecue of the summer. It is a time to reflect on the past struggles and celebrate the many accomplishments of workers in our state. Lest we forget, it was the labor movement that produced the eight-hour workday, banished child labor and allowed working people to have a voice on the job.

However, unions are not a thing of the past, and it is clear there is much work yet to be done. Service Employees International Union has been building power to grow the labor movement, and return a voice in politics to working families in Wisconsin.

SEIU is the fastest-growing union in North America with 1.9 million members. In Wisconsin, SEIU members serve our communities as nurses, janitors, home care providers, clerical workers and more working in schools, office buildings, nursing homes, hospitals and homes across the state. SEIU members are united in making Wisconsin a better place to live through raising the standard of living for all working families, fixing our broken immigration system and finding solutions to America's health care crisis.
