SEIU, ACORN = corruption
SEIU stalking, harassing nurses at home - is this the face of a progressive union?
Roving bands of Service Employee International Union staff showed up on the home doorsteps of leaders of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Association Thursday, harassing and verbally threatening them in a disgraceful escalation of SEIU International's campaign against CNA/NNOC.
Notably, the attacks focused on women leaders forced to confront squads of shouting, screaming people in an obvious attempt to intimidate and coerce our leaders into stopping our critique of the increasingly pro-corporate bent of SEIU International and its President Andrew Stern
Aug 19, 2008 The LA Times continues its investigation this week of Tyrone Freeman, Andy Stern's henchman in the SEIU international's war against United Healthcare Workers West and other internal critics fighting for union democracy. Freeman is the head of SEIU United Long Term Care Workers. The new story reports on allegations of election rigging by Freeman being examined by the Labor Department.
The LA Times also reports allegations of a cover-up by the SEIU communications department of Freeman's financial indiscretions. Supporters of a progressive democratic nurses union movement should be concerned about these scandals hurting labor. Hopefully SEIU will clean itself up, with help from the reform movement.
and here one of their fellow leftist unions is attacking them....
poetic justice....
