OUR HISTORY

Education Workers United

When Marvin Qiin and Carl Magnusen started what became the Education Workers United, school workers in Southern California had little rights and less pay.

Over time, what became SEIU Local 99 added Teacher’s Assistants, Child Care providers, Special Education Aids and other essential school workers fought for and won basic worker fights many take for granted today.
