Series 2, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Local 250, consists of records produced in the day-to-day operations of Local 250, including administrative and outreach materials, contract negotiations, correspondence, and grievances between rank and file members and union leadership. The bulk of the records relate to Local 250's negotiations with various hospitals and healthcare institutions as the union campaigned for improved working conditions and wages, and rallied against the hospital administration's proposed two-tier wage system. This series also includes newsletters and bulletins produced by Local 250 for its members, materials related to the SEIU's 1987 trusteeship of Local 250, various news clippings concerning Local 250 negotiations with healthcare institutions, and manuscripts documenting LGBT organizing within the SEIU in the 1980s.
