Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Canada (original) (raw)

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is a labor union representing health care, public services, and property service workers in the US and Canada. Founded in 1921, the organization is headquartered in Washington, DC.

I found a couple of photographs online of some of the organization's flags. The main flag shows the union's logo on a purple field with a thin white orle. The logo features a yellow rectangle with a purple curving road leading toward a purple sunburst in the upper right corner of the rectangle. Below the yellow rectangle is the organization's acronym in white, italicized, capital letters, and the union's motto ("Stronger Together") in yellow lettering. A photograph at https://www.seiu721.org/campaigns/political/index.php?page=4 shows this flag in the background, but with one of the union members holding a hand flag with a different design, likely representing the local chapter (SEIU 721 in southern California). Unfortunately, though, I have been unable to find any additional good photographs of the handheld possible local flag.

I also found a photograph online of what appears to be the local flag of SEIU West in Canada. The design is very similar to the flag of the parent organization, featuring the organization's logo on a purple field. The same yellow rectangle with the curved road and sunburst is in the center of the field. Above the rectangle are the italicized, white, capital letters "SEIU." Below the rectangle is the word "WEST" in similar letters, with a small red maple leaf following the "T." A photograph of this flag can be seen online at http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/education-support-workers-walk-picket-line-in-weyburn-estevan-1.3067019.
