SEIU Resolves To Bargain For Trans-Inclusive Healthcare | This week, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is holding its national convention in Denver. Yesterday, delegates proposed a resolution that local chapters of the union bargain for health care packages that are inclusive of transgender healthcare services. The resolution passed easily with no pushback from members. Hopefully this fresh committed to supporting trans employees will help raise awareness nationwide about the importance of making sure they have the resources they need and deserve. Last year’s large study of the transgender community found that half of all trans people have had to educate their doctors about their needs and 19 percent have been refused care because of their gender identity.
