SEIU-ULTCW’s Elinor Glenn Scholarship Fund
We have named our Scholarship Fund to honor Elinor Glenn, who was a trailblazer
for worker rights and women’s rights and we are proud to honor her efforts in SEIU. As the first woman
to be hired as an organizer by SEIU, she was a pioneer in organizing the public sector well before they
had collective bargaining rights. She built her own union, SEIU Local 434 in Los Angeles, from 700 to
7,000 members and led the first strike of county workers to protect wages and seniority rights. That
union led to the incubation and nurturing of SEIU Local 434 B, which was led by Ophelia McFadden.
Prior to that, Glenn hired McFadden as a staff representative in 1968 and encouraged her leadership.
To this day, her role in helping to elevate the modern homecare workers movement remains among
Glenn’s proudest moments. 434B later became 6434 and now, ULTCW. Her son, Norm Gleichman,
currently serves as an attorney for the SEIU Legal Department in Washington, DC.
