Another official at the Service Employees International Union has been ousted following accusations of sexual assault.
Pedro Malave was first fired from a local Boston-area SEIU chapter in 2014, only to be later rehired at two other local chapters in California, the labor website Payday Report reported last week. Politico‘s Morning Shift newsletter flagged the report on Monday and confirmed that the locals dismissed Malave after they learned of his past alleged conduct.
In the summer of 2014, the Boston-area 32BJ SEIU Local 615 investigated Malave, then the assistant director, after a co-worker, Daria Alladio, accused him of sexual assault. She alleged that, in 2008, Malave stuck his hand up her skirt and "put his hand in-between her butt cheeks," according to the Payday Report, and then awoke one night in April 2014 to discover Malave masturbating against her check.
Two California locals then hired Malave in management roles. He first worked as an organizer with SEIU United Healthcare Workers West and then as a regional field coordinator for a separate local, SEIU United Service Workers West.
The union said it was unaware of the allegations against Malave until last week.
When informed of Malave's past accusations following the Payday Report story, SEIU United Service Workers West parted ways with Malave.
"SEIU USWW has zero tolerance for sexual harassment or sexual violence, and had we had prior knowledge of any misconduct or harassment allegations against Mr. Malave, we would never have hired him," USWW spokesperson Stephen Boardman said in a statement.
A union official told Politico‘s Morning Shift that SEIU locals, which are separately incorporated, have no centralized system to share records and each have their own human resources departments.
Malave's firing follows the departure of four other top SEIU officials. Last month, SEIU executive vice president Scott Courtney, one of the top labor figures in the Fight for $15 minimum wage campaign, resigned from the union after seven people told BuzzFeed News that he had engaged in sexual harassment. SEIU president Mary Kay Henry had first suspended Courtney based on preliminary information from an internal investigation before his resignation.
In the span of a few weeks, SEIU Chicago leader Caleb Jennings resigned, deputy organizing director Kendall Fells resigned, and Detroit leader Mark Raleigh was fired over similar charges of sexual harassment. All three men were key leaders in the Fight for $15 campaign.

Recall the eapes that were covered up in the Occurard movement because they think cops are fascist pigs and didn’t want to tarnish ‘the movement’ (or do time for the crime).
Planned Parenthood covers up rape too.
Okay, I am incredibly curious as to why she was asleep in the same house or apartment as this guy. How could this situation even arise?
All of this was overlooked and excused away for the right of women to kill their children in the womb!
Liberalism is a scourge against humanity!
I must say.. this is running off the charts for numbers coming out of the woodwork.
I guess every woman who has ever been insulted by any means, find it time to get it out in the public.. getting even with the insulter.
How about creaming the insulter at the time of the insult .. it used to work that way. It sends the message loud and clear.
To anyone who laughs or dismisses the notion of “Pizzagate” being a very, very real thing: F-U......
Is this how feminists plan to break the glass ceiling?
Those cwazy wiberwals.
Sleeping on the "job"?
Hahaha. Righteous justice to LIB losers. Hahaha.
Hahaha. Righteous justice to LIB losers. Hahaha.
Were they all former ACORN folks??
Union scum alert..
Excellent! I hate unions with a passion born in personal experience - union goons threatened to seriously injure me when I was still well under age 18. Anything that hurts unions helps America.
The thing about blowback is when you are doused in fuel yourself, you might just go up in flames.

Might be dangerous for women to ‘stay quiet’ if these guy’s are afraid they’ll be exposed and lose their jobs if a woman tells the truth. Now is the time to get it out ... while the press is willing to provide safety.
That could be the case if she worked nights.
