I’m proud to announce my recent endorsement by SEIU MN State Council (Service Employees International Union).  SEIU represents the workers who provide care and support for our community in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, child care and the Twin Cities largest public and private buildings.  With 30,000 members statewide, SEIU is Minnesota’s fourth largest and fastest-growing labor union.

This is our sixth labor endorsement.  Minneapolis Building Trades, Minneapolis Firefighters Local 82, Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation AFL-CIO, AFSCME Council 5, and the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis stand with me in my campaign for City Council.

I support the work that unions do to ensure fair wages, good working conditions, and steady jobs for their members.  Good jobs and pay help city residents afford housing and create a stable home life to raise their children and guarantee their steady attendance at our public schools.  Union jobs, particularly those of SEIU members, also help our diverse city residents achieve the American Dream.

Your support will make the difference in my campaign for City Council.  To show your support with a lawn sign this fall, click here.  If you would like to volunteer on the campaign, or make a financial contribution, click here.  You can even “Like” us on Facebook, click here!

Sincerely,

Linea Palmisano, 13th Ward City Council Candidate
