Recently, the union has made a concerted effort to expand outside of its traditional base on the coasts. Since 2004, the union has seen success organizing workers in Texas, Florida, Nevada, and Arizona in particular.[citation needed] Over 5000 janitors organized with SEIU in Houston, Texas in 2005, which was especially significant due to the size of the campaign and its location in a area with low union density. [1] In Florida, a high-profile strike at the University of Miami which lasted nine weeks and included a hunger strike, ended with the union winning representation of 425 janitors on campus. [2] This victory was shortly followed by another 600 workers at North Shore Medical Center, also in Miami, voting to join the SEIU in early 2006.[3].
