One of the largest and most powerful U.S. unions is rejoining the AFL-CIO, giving the country’s leading labor federation a boost as it prepares for another Donald Trump presidency.
The 2 million-member Service Employees International Union announced Wednesday that it had decided to re-affiliate with the federation after a nearly 20-year absence. The SEIU will immediately become the biggest union within the AFL-CIO.
Liz Shuler, the federation’s president, called it “a BFD.”
