SEIU Local 513 exists to provide us with a voice in our workplaces and our communities. Our goals are:

• to protect and improve the standard of living of our members and their families,

• to affirm the dignity of our members and the services they provide, and
• to create a more just and humane society.

Recognizing that our strength is based on an active and unified membership, the Local achieves its mission through:

• effective bargaining and representation;
• active involvement in the political process;
• organizing unorganized workers in our industries and labor markets; and
• supporting other unions and community organizations in our common struggle for justice and equality.

Our work is guided by our vision of a society where all workers and their families live and work in dignity; where work is fulfilling and fairly rewarded; and where all workers have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect them!
