Union Member Re-Elected to Metro Benefit Board!

Edna J. Jones, a member of SEIU and employee of Metro Public Works, was handily re-elected to the Benefit Board.  Thanks to the efforts of SEIU members across the city, Edna received 59% of the vote in a four-person race, leading to a resounding victory for workers.

"Once again, SEIU made a big difference in the Board election," Jones says.  "I am deeply grateful for the union's support and the confidence the membership has shown in me.  With the cost of health insurance going up all over the country, we have a difficult struggle ahead, but I will continue to work hard and listen to the employees to make sure everyone is treated fairly and has a voice".

Edna will serve a three-year term which begins on July 1.

SEIU would like to congratulate Edna on her victory and to congratulate the other candidates who ran for office.  Most especially, SEIU would like to thank the member activists who helped re-elect Edna and the union members who voted on Election Day.
