SEIU to step up hospital organizing

The Service Employees International Union will step up its Boston hospital organizing efforts tomorrow when members are expected to hand out leaflets in the Longwood Medical Area. SEIU has been working to organize employees in Boston's largely nonunion teaching hospitals for nearly two years.

An organizing rally is scheduled for Oct. 16. Union officials said they want hospital executives to sign agreements promising not to harass employees who work to organize workers
