Walberg Presses Union Chapter on Hiring of Child Molester
September 23, 2025 // Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) sent a letter to the president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 87, Olga Miranda, demanding information on its hiring practices after reports that the chapter employed convicted child molester Noelia Linares. SEIU’s website highlights that it is the second largest union of public service employees with more than 1 million local and state government workers, public school employees, bus drivers, and child care providers. This letter comes after the SEIU national office failed to provide an adequate response to a June letter demanding answers regarding both local and national procedures and policies for the union’s hiring of registered sex offenders. Instead, SEIU’s response left it to SEIU locals to defend their own actions.
