SEIU Local 503, OPEU

LaTricia Straw

I have been a member of SEIU 503 for a total of 20 years; 5 as a state worker & 15 in local government. I’ve seen programs, organizers, supervisors, & local leaders come & go. I’ve been involved with local government & participated on several SEIU executive boards. Ive worked on campaigns & taken advantage of member leader development programs. I’ve seen just about everything. Id like to point out a few things from my experiences with SEIU. I have worked with some of the most professional, caring, supportive, dynamic, intelligent, flexible, creative people I’ve ever collaborated with! SEIU 503 is all about the worker & how they can make our lives better! Do we always agree on how to do that? No but we always come to the best solution possible. Working in a union is extremely demanding & difficult at times. It’s a high intensity job with constant moving parts. Members aren’t data on a spread sheet. They are human beings, with individual struggles, in unique situations. SEIU recognizes this & treats us as such. That is no easy task when you’re dealing with thousands of members that all have different & unique situations that need to be address at the same time! Thank You SEIU 503 for tirelessly working to make our lives better! We appreciate you!

I am a state employee and called to cancel my membership but they told me to wait 6 months, called 6 months later and they didn’t let me cancel. I got yelled at by the representative who answered the call and said I was ungrateful for not wanting to pay. If I could put 0 stars I would!!!

Extremely unprofessional people. Did a day job with them. Employees walking around the building with shorts and or no shoes. Had us try to put two different desks together and no matter how many times we showed them it wasnt going to work, they insisted we keep doing it. If this place is taking money from your checks. You are being ripped off.

The most deplorable staff that has ever existed throughout all of human history when it comes to dealing with issues, answering phones. In more than a year and literally dozens of calls. I have had ONE live person and have never had any of the recorded messages return a call. The entire mechanism is a grotesque representation of what a business should NOT be.
