Just last week Hartmarx, a Chicago company in the business of making business suits, including the one Barack Obama wore at his inauguration, filed for bankruptcy. Wells Fargo, its biggest creditor and a recipient of $25 billion in bailout funds, wants to liquidate the company. But Hartmarx workers have said no. On Monday they voted to occupy the Chicago factory if the bank goes ahead with liquidation. That's just one of the many stories from around the world--from France, Poland, Canada, the UK, and Argentina--of workers taking direct action to save their jobs and rebuild the economy.

At the SEIU convention in June, UNI Global Union signed a global organizing agreement with leading global facility services provider ISS. The agreement is the most comprehensive and advanced of its kind, and guarantees organizing rights for almost 500,000 workers in 50 countries. SEIU leaders and staff have played a key role in UNI Global Union s campaigns for the rights of workers at ISS and other multinational corporations.

In early 2008, two workers a former Wackenhut security officer from Chicago and a Manor Care nursing home worker from eastern Pennsylvania traveled to Asia to meet with men and women who did similar work and were employed by the same multinational companies as they are. Security officer Leroy Johnson boarded a plane for the very first time and traveled to Delhi, India, where he met workers employed by G4S (parent company to Wackenhut), and also visited with Indian labor leaders with whom SEIU has a partnership. Trisha Meishur left the nursing home where she works in Easton, Pa., and traveled to Japan with SEIU leaders to visit nursing homes owned by the multinational company Manor Care.The experiences were invaluable to Trisha and Leroy, and the trips helped give them an entirely new perspective on both SEIU s global organizing work and their own jobs. Both journeys were documented in a powerful video, shown to delegates at SEIU's 2008 Convention in Puerto Rico.

Thirty-four union leaders from 17 countries, representing millions of workers around the world, joined with SEIU delegates and leaders at the 2008 Convention in Puerto Rico this past June. These leaders many of them general secretaries or presidents of their respective unions sat with delegates on the convention floor, getting a first-hand view of the important decisions our members made regarding the Justice for All Program. Through a series of video greetings, seen here in this video, union leaders from nine additional countries spoke to our delegates about their partnerships with SEIU, as we work together to make globalization work for workers.
