CHICAGO, IL—On Wednesday, June 4, Senator Barack Obama will address the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) convention by live satellite video feed. The convention will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Over 4,000 member delegates from across the United States and Canada will attend, and International Officers will be elected to four year terms.
“SEIU’s endorsement has made a tremendous impact over the course of this campaign,” Senator Obama said. “Their trademark purple has been a presence everywhere—at rallies, at worksites, and most importantly, on the doors and phones, talking to voters about the kind of change we can bring about if we change our politics.”
“I want to thank Andy Stern and the nearly 2 million members of SEIU for their steadfast support. Though the primaries are not quite over, and there is still much to be done, I’m delighted to take the time to address SEIU’s convention. SEIU has played a critical role in the debate on healthcare reform, strengthening workers’ right to organize, and so many other key issues. I am grateful for their support.”
