Statement on the Reunification of the AFL-CIO and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Labor Unions

This is a big deal. Today SEIU reunited with the AFL-CIO, America's largest federation of labor unions and a key voice for workers across the country. SEIU is one of the most powerful unions in America representing 2 million care and service workers. Their affiliation will help workers across the country to organize, earn higher wages, receive better benefits and build retirement security.

I am proud to be the most pro-labor President in American history, and I'm proud to congratulate American workers on this important milestone.
