I used to work for an SEIU local. Their rhetoric was so ridiculous- every staff meeting we had to listen to why X legislation or Y court decision would be "the end of the union." And how we had to get out and engage with the members to get them to come protest so they could get headlines and put pressure on the local politicians to give them what they wanted. Meanwhile the work that actually needed to get done was put on the backburner (actual, legitimate grievances to be resolved). You either drank the purple Kool-aid and rose through the ranks, or realized what a sham the whole thing was and quit out of disgust. I was in the latter camp.

SEIU only exists to push hard Left ideals and to keep feeding the beast that is itself.
They are a Socialist organization.
