Founded in 1939 and headquartered in Denver, the union organizes workers into collective bargaining units across three primary verticals: healthcare (Kaiser Permanente, Blackstone, WellPower, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, Urban Peak, Clinica Family Health & Wellness), property services (janitorial, security, and building services under the Master Contract covering Kaiser Janitorial, Securitas, Convention Center, Denver City Buildings, and the Federal Reserve), and Denver International Airport operations (janitorial, parking, passenger services, and window cleaners across contractors G2, Flik, ABM, Prospect, and others). The union also operates a political action fund, COPE / Sí Se Puede Fund, and provides member access to SEIU Member Benefits and Union Plus Benefits programs. The organization operates as a member-owned, member-governed nonprofit under the SEIU national umbrella, which provides institutional support, branding, and affiliation with SEIU's 2 million-member network and the 85,000-member Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions.
