SEIU VP Dave Regan Accused of Sexual Misconduct & Retaliating Against Whistleblowers

Reading aloud a letter addressed to her supervisors about retaliation she faced after reporting sexual misconduct within SEIU, Njoki Woods, a 42-year-old African American single mother of 4, begins to cry.

Prior to joining the staff at SEIU United Healthcare West in 2015, Woods had spent a decade organizing her fellow co-workers as a certified nursing assistant and unit secretary at Riverside Community Hospital in Southern California.

After leading a successful effort as a rank and file member to organize residual workers at nearby St. Mary’s hospital, Woods was offered a staff job in May of 2015. “I was excited. I had just organized some residual members successfully at St. Mary’s,” says Woods. “I was so proud of myself. The day they called and told me I got the job, I cried, I was so excited.”

However, after raising complaints about sexual misconduct, illegal union electioneering, and selling out members in backroom deals with management, Woods says she wished she had never left the hospital to become a union staffer. “I faced racism at Riverside Community Hospital, but they addressed it at least,” says Wood.

Woods’ employer SEIU-UHW has come under heavy criticism for the culture of sexual misconduct that many say is epidemic throughout SEIU nationwide. Recently, a lawsuit brought by a current employee of SEIU-UHW, Mindy Sturges, alleges that SEIU-UHW and its president Dave Regan knowingly hired staffers accused of sexual misconduct, routinely covered up sexual misconduct and retailed against those who reported it. (SEIU-UHW denies the claims).

In 2017, Payday Report broke the story of how Pedro Malavet was hired at SEIU-UHW after an investigation by another local, SEIU 32BJ, found that he had committed sexual assault against another union staffer, Dario Alladio.
