A Texas district judge recently ruled the Service Employees International Union has no grounds to request a retrial following a court order directing the Chicago-based union to pay Professional Janitorial Services Houston $7.8 million. . . .
Harris County District Judge Erin Lunceford also instructed the SEIU to turn over nearly 10 years of financial records and other information before the court determines whether PJS can seize the union’s assets.

I don’t know the background of this story but any story about anything that goes against the SEIU is a good thing!
If you google something like “SEIU PJS houston lawsuit” you’ll get several articles that give a background. This was a classic, vicious Chicago-style campaign waged for many years (suit is about a decade old) against a private company, after the SEIU decided it wanted to unionize about half a dozen janitorial cos then operating in Houston, TX. Complete with false claims submitted to the NLRB, false claims and forged affidavits submitted by attorneys whom I hope will be seriously sanctioned.
Ok, will do, and thanks for that explanation. Makes this story even more wonderful!
Do some of those “other records” contain references to anyone named Soros, Clinton or Obama??? ;)
That's not quite a joke
We know that the Italians invented double entry book keeping
The Greeks went one better...with Triple book keeping
One book for the business owner
Second book to show spouse....sans funny money to pay mistress and gambling debts.
Third book for the tax man.
Baloney blowing back in their faces. Wonderful.
Wonder if this crap started under Marxist Andy Stern’s leadership or that of his successor. Stern was one smart red but it looks like the truth caught up with him and his commie crew.
Revenge is sweet and costly.
This will cost the SEIU members @bout $4 each.
It’s a fine line, to me, where the idealistic “unionizing for improving worker conditions” ends and “employing every Alinsky tactic and then some to capture politicians and increase union membership, and thus dues so as to increase the available skim”.
This is the nature of many things. Overly greedy people will take greater and greater advantage of a freedom until they impinge upon the rights of others; but their own greed overcomes their regard for those rights of the others they impinge on. They think they are entitled to encroach.
This case, to the brief extent I researched it, saw the impingers making false and tortious claims against a business they decided they wanted to hijack. They cost the target business real customers and sent each other congratulatory emails when PJS was dropped as a contractor by one client after another. By the time the union was submitting false claims, “salting” the companies workers with folks who will then submit false claims and were inserted into the target co with that specific intent, it has gone too far.
Sounds a lot like the Democrat model, eh? Offer the underclass hope but use their support to keep yourself in office and salary. At any cost, all Alinsky, all the time.
