According to SEIU 32BJ's Department of Labor records since 2005, when membership classifications were first reported, around a quarter of the union's membership are considered part time.[3]
In 1941, James Bambrick, 32B president since its founding, was forced to resign his union post and later served a sentence for embezzlement. Secretary-Treasurer David Sullivan, who had battled for financial integrity and safeguards, was elected to replace Bambrick.[4]
In 1991, members of 32BJ went on a labor strike, and nearly came to strike in 2006 and 2010.[5]
In the 21st century, locals that merged into 32BJ include: Local 615 (previously known as Local 254) (Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, merged 2013)[2]

Historians generally consider Bambrick's accusations to be accurate.
