8 Hotel Employees-Restaurant Employees Union (HERE) Both predecessor unions suffered from endemic corruption: Widespread mob infiltration of the UNITE unions in New York’s Garment District was alleged, 7 and the 1986 President’s Commission on Organized Crime identified HERE alongside the Teamsters, Laborers International Union, and International Longshoremen’s Association as national unions controlled by organized crime. Unite Here was formed from a merger of two predecessor unions: the Hotel Employees-Restaurant Employees (HERE) union and the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (UNITE), itself the result of the merger of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union (ILGWU) and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA). In the 2009 “divorce,” Workers United SEIU also took control of Amalgamated Bank, a labor-union-owned financial institution founded by a predecessor union to UNITE. Unite Here was split in 2009 when local unions associated with the prior UNITE and loyal to Raynor left the merged Unite Here to form Workers United, a division of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). 3 Unite Here unions have also advocated for strict restrictions on AirBnB and similar short-term room rentals, 4 demanded “card check” public organizing (future Unite Here international president Bruce Raynor stated in 2003, “There’s no reason to subject the workers to an election” 5), and pushed for minimum wage policies with loopholes allowing union contracts to under-cut the wages paid to non-union employees. Unite Here local unions are major players in state and local politics perhaps most notably, Culinary Local 226, a Las Vegas casino workers’ union, is an integral cog in the Nevada Democratic political machine associated with former U.S. Since 2009, the union has been a member of the AFL-CIO labor federation 1 as of 2017, it was the fastest-growing AFL-CIO union.
