MARJB Workers United,an SEIU Affiliate

March 26-28, 2025 — Approximately thirty members and staff from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Joint Board joined over 400 other members representing 13 Joint Boards from across the United States and Canada at the Workers United International Convention held in Cleveland, OH.  They took care of business, passed pivotal resolutions, and heard from amazing speakers, including Bishop William Barber II, Workers United International President Lynne Fox, SEIU President April Verrett, and AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler.  

​

The theme of the convention was Defining Our Future, and after coming together to pass resolutions to buy union, stand against hostilities to our union family in Canada, and take on ambitious new organizing goals here and around the world, we know what we need to do...and, we are more FIRED UP and READY than ever before!

Members also enjoyed some amazing food and drink catered by our union family members who work at the Hyatt Regency and the Rocket Arena.  After business concluded each day, members were invited to attend a Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game against the San Antonio Spurs and a hockey game with the Cleveland Monsters facing off against the Texas Stars. 

​

This was the first in-person Workers United convention in eight years, so it was a special time to come together and celebrate all that our union has accomplished as organizers and as members of the labor movement.
