• Our History - SEIU 1199

  By the 1960s, Leon Davis and District 1199 fanned out through the country to organize and create a national union of health care workers in all sections of the health care industry — from hospitals and nursing homes to mental health clinics. Leon Davis, 1199 organizing director Elliott Godoff, and 1199 members used their new and vibrant Union to demand social and economic changes for all workers. In 1982, District 1199 organized state hospital workers in West Virginia, and in 1986, the union organized the health care and social service professionals working for the State of Ohio, doubling the size of the union to almost 6,000 members. In addition to health care and social services, SEIU District 1199 represents Head Start, library and higher education workers.
