SEIU Local 888 unites more than 8,000 state, municipal and education workers across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We believe in the dignity and worth of workers and the important services they provide. We are dedicated to improving the quality of public service and education, and to creating a more just and humane society.
Unions were created in the 1800’s to address the plight of workers during the Industrial Revolution. Though the landscape of industry has changed dramatically since unions’ inception, the need for unions remains crucial.
The latest effort by Massachusetts public defenders to be recognized as employees of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in order to form a union has again been passed over by the Legislature.
