SEIU 503 members maintain our roads and forests, educate our children, care for our most vulnerable residents, and keep our communities safe. We are committed to providing the highest quality services that will help Oregon thrive. Every aspect of the state budget impacts SEIU members and their families, no matter where they work or live, whether it’s for a state agency or for a hospital or nursing home. SEIU members are also low-income earners, who rely on state services such as the Oregon Health Plan and OregonSaves. Budget decisions made by policymakers have both the ability to transform our members’ lives by supporting the work they do or passing critical programs, and the ability to cause significant harm when cuts are made or services aren’t adequately funded. As such, we fight for a state budget that supports working families.
