Labor unions are using Arizona’s new immigrant trespassing law to bolster their organizing efforts among Hispanic workers.
Union representatives say they are seeing a surge in inquiries from Hispanic workers in Arizona worried about the new law and the potential for more police raids and inquiries into their workplaces.
“We are getting more calls,” said Scott Washburn, state director of the Service Employees International Union. SEIU has about 4,000 members in Arizona, mostly in the public sector.

The incoming president of the Service Employees International Union has “shown an interest” in returning to the AFL-CIO five years after her predecessor quit the group, federation President Richard Trumka said today.
“Obviously, the door is open, and I think she has shown an interest,” Trumka told reporters in New York, referring to Mary Kay Henry. “Part of her campaign has been to reunite the labor movement. I think they are tired of being isolated.”

Note to Secret Service agents: Don't expect to see Mary Kay Henry at the White House gate very often.
Henry is poised to become the next Service Employees International Union leader now that Anna Burger, the candidate favored by departing President Andy Stern, dropped out on Apr. 28. In promising to spend less time cultivating Washington and more time healing rifts in the 2.1 million-member union, Henry won support from local presidents representing 60% of the membership. An official vote is set for May 8. "Our local unions and divisions should drive our national priorities, not the other way around," Henry wrote in an Apr. 26 memo to SEIU leaders.
