Seiu Pa State Council

What Seiu Pa State Council does

SEIU PA State Council is a state-level labor union organization headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, affiliated with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU International). It represents 80,000 essential workers across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, composed of four major SEIU locals: SEIU 32BJ (property services), SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania (healthcare workers), SEIU Local 668 (public sector), and the Pennsylvania Joint Board of Workers United (laundry and distribution). The Council is the third-largest union in Pennsylvania and functions as the primary vehicle for coordinated political and legislative advocacy on behalf of its constituent members.

Its core 'products' are non-commercial: union representation, collective bargaining support, political endorsements, voter mobilization, and legislative advocacy. The Council does not sell goods or services and does not operate proprietary technology; its revenue is generated through membership dues flowing from the affiliated SEIU locals. It does not publicly disclose dues structures or financial figures, and no revenue or budget amounts are reported on its website.

The Council's strategic activity centers on policy campaigns (a $15 minimum wage, opposition to right-to-work, local wage control, healthcare and voting-rights protection), electoral engagement (endorsements across 2020–2026 cycles, including Biden, Harris, Shapiro, Fetterman, Casey, and Bob Brooks), and coalition-building (a 67-organization PA coalition on wage preemption; solidarity actions with AFSCME DC 33). It is led by President Matt Yarnell and Secretary-Treasurer Steve Catanese, with a small State Council staff of 1–10 employees.
