Stern Confirms Departure from SEIU

HeadlineApr 15, 2010

In labor news, Service Employees International Union president Andy Stern has confirmed reports he’s stepping down. Stern made the announcement in a videotaped message to SEIU members.

Andy Stern: “At age twenty-two, I joined SEIU. And for the next thirty-eight years, fourteen as president, I’ve had the joy and the privilege to work every day to gain respect for working people. But in life, there’s a time to learn, a time to lead, and then, there’s a time to leave. And shortly will be my time to end my SEIU journey.”
