COMMITTEES are the core structures that keep the union running. They handle the ongoing work that makes our union function (for example, communications, membership, bargaining, or labor management). Committees are usually standing bodies, meaning they continue year after year and report directly to the union’s leadership or membership.
LABOR MANAGEMENT (LMC)
This is the only committee mandated by our contract. Four union members and one SEIU staffer meet with the Emory administration to oversee the implementation of the contract and discuss workplace issues. Current members:
Milo Murphy (coordinator)
Federico Sánchez Vargas
Eric Villalobos
Mickey Hamilton
ORGANIZING (OC)
This is an extension of the Executive Board (currently, the co-chairs) open to any dedicated rank-and-file member of the union who wants to get into the nuts and bolts of structural and strategic decisions. Meets biweekly. See our calendar.
COMMUNICATIONS (CC)
Passionate about graphic design or writing? Want to put your skills to good use? Join the Communications Committee! Here, members help run our social media, newsletters, take press training, write letters to the editors, etc.
ELECTIONS (EC)
Unions are democracy at work! If you want to help oversee the various elections we hold for officers, resolutions, and referendums, join the elections committee!
