SEIU District 925 started in 1975, when the Service Employees International Union and 9 to 5, the National Association of Working Women came together in Boston to create a local union for office workers, SEIU Local 925. They expanded to become a nationwide movement in 1981 as SEIU District 925. This partnership resulted in a powerful social and political advocate for office workers, one of the largest, poorest paid, most exploited, but least unionized segments of the nation’s workforce. Nussbaum became 925’s first president and, soon after, 925 chapters were formed throughout the nation.
