Anna Burger to lead SEIU, biggest union in the US

On Monday it was announced that Andy Stern is stepping down as president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) the nation’s largest and fastest growing union. It is being said that Anna Burger, the current Secretary-Treasurer, will lead the union in his place.
Having a woman in this position of authority is a big deal. More about Anna:

She moved on to run the statewide political program and later became SEIU’s national field director. She has been an active delegate to the Democratic National Convention since 1984 and has worked on the party’s platform.
