Information About

Building Service Employees International Union




The Building Service Employees International Union (BSEIU) was chartered by the American Federation Of Labor (AFL) in 1921. Seven local unions joined together to create BSEIU. But the union was dominated by the Chicago Flat Janitor's Union, building service workers who lived for free in the basements of the apartment buildings where they worked.
