The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is a labor union 
  representing health care, public services, and property service workers in the 
  US and Canada. Founded in 1921, the organization is headquartered in 
  Washington, DC.
I found a couple of photographs online of some of the 
  organization's flags. The main flag shows the union's logo on a purple field 
  with a thin white orle. The logo features a yellow rectangle with a purple 
  curving road leading toward a purple sunburst in the upper right corner of the 
  rectangle. Below the yellow rectangle is the organization's acronym in white, 
  italicized, capital letters, and the union's motto ("Stronger Together") in 
  yellow lettering. A photograph at
  
  https://www.seiu721.org/campaigns/political/index.php?page=4 shows this 
  flag in the background, but with one of the union members holding a hand flag 
  with a different design, likely representing the local chapter (SEIU 721 in 
  southern California). Unfortunately, though, I have been unable to find any 
  additional good photographs of the handheld possible local flag.

I also 
  found a photograph online of what appears to be the local flag of SEIU West in 
  Canada. The design is very similar to the flag of the parent organization, 
  featuring the organization's logo on a purple field. The same yellow rectangle 
  with the curved road and sunburst is in the center of the field. Above the 
  rectangle are the italicized, white, capital letters "SEIU." Below the 
  rectangle is the word "WEST" in similar letters, with a small red maple leaf 
  following the "T." A photograph of this flag can be seen online at
