New Staff Joins Local 21’s South Bay Team

Growing up with a single mom and non-profit worker, Nick Raisch began attending political rallies at a young age. In large part due to his upbringing, he grew up wanting to do something that made life easier for people like his mother. After graduating from college with a degree in political Science, Nick spent the last 5 years with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) protecting wages, benefits, and the rights of hard working people.

Representing employees at Kaiser Permanente, he worked with a team to bargain one of the best health care contracts in the country and organize the remainder of unorganized workers there. In Mountain View, his work through SEIU contributed to members maintaining their standard of living and protecting their 2.7% @ 55 retirement benefit for current and new employees.

“I am happy to be a part of the team and work towards our common vision,” says Nick.
