SEIU:
From the work he did in the South Side of Chicago organizing laid-off workers from a steel plant closing, to marching a picket line with hotel workers last month, Barack has spent his life fighting for America's workers.

SEIU:
Beck has been a homecare worker for her client John Thornton for four years. At breakfast, Beck introduced Obama to her daughter, an Oakland school worker, her grandnephew, and her two foster children. The two then traveled to her client's home to get him out of bed, prepare his breakfast, and help him to get ready to start his day.
