Action Materials Manager

SEIU 721 is a dynamic and fast-growing labor organization recognized as one of the largest and strongest unions
of publicly funded employees in the nation. We represent over 100,000 workers and have over 200 staff employees
covering 6 counties in Southern California; including Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties and
numerous cities in these regions. Our members provide critical services within the public and private sectors in
diverse fields including health care, social services, libraries, courts, parks and recreation, public works, higher
education, mental health, and many others. They work tirelessly to care for the sick, protect the environment,
support families in need, and protect our communities’ most vulnerable individuals. We represent frontline workers
who impact millions of lives daily and make sure their work is respected and valued.

SEIU 721 organizes workers in the public and private sectors and empowers them to not only affect change in their
workplace, but at the political level as well. Through grassroots organizing, identifying, and developing leaders
within our Union, we make sure that our members’ voices are heard, and that the government is held accountable
to ensuring efficiency, advocating for those in need, and improving access to services.

SEIU 721 represents public and private service workers across Southern California who are committed to their
communities’ health and well-being. Our goal is to uplift those workers who have been historically marginalized and
give them a seat at the table so they may provide for their families for generations to come. We continue to grow our
outreach so that we can provide excellent representation and strengthen the power of workers in a changing labor
economy.
