The Service Employees International Union has filed charges against Bruce S. Raynor, one of New York’s most prominent union leaders and the head of that union’s apparel workers’ affiliate, charging him with financial misconduct.

Mr. Raynor is president of Workers United, the nation’s main apparel workers’ union, a grouping of more than 100,000 apparel, laundry and warehouse workers, that affiliated two years ago with the S.E.I.U., where he serves on the board as an executive vice president.

Mr. Raynor said he had been charged with not properly accounting for $2,300 in spending on meals with a female S.E.I.U. official.
