How does the SEIU operate? Like a vicious goon squad. "After landslide defeats to NUHW in the first set of Kaiser Hospital elections, SEIU has turned to desperate measures to prevent the loss of an additional 50,000 Kaiser workers later this year. These measures include SEIUs coordinating with Kaiser management to drive NUHW out of hospitals, and regularly using intimidation and even violence against NUHW supporters (who are current SEIU members)."
SEIU was found guilty of corruption."SEIUs citing of St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood as its model is telling. The NLRB found SEIU guilty of an unfair labor practice there for threatening to have the hospital terminate workers because they engaged in activities in support of the National Union of Healthcare Workers.
The SEIU is physically violent. "But SEIUs intimidation activities extend to many other facilities as well. On June 7, 2010, the NLRB will hold a trial against six SEIU staff members for illegally threatening and intimidating NUHW supporters and violating their rights under federal labor law."
Kaiser-Permanente is in collusion with the viciously corrupt SEIU. "In light of SEIUs alliance with Kaiser management to remove NUHW, Kaiser workers could wonder what concessions SEIU is giving Kaiser in exchange. The Teamsters aligned with growers because it had no base among workers in the fields; it would seem that if SEIU had the majority support of workers, it would not need managements help to defeat NUHW." Then you have this, "*At Kaisers Roseville Hospital, a group of nine SEIU workers and staff one of whom was another Kaiser-paid contract specialist (Audrey Martinez) whose duties are supposed to be limited to contract administration encircled NUHW supporter Frank Engles and tried to remove his NUHW lanyard from his neck and replace it with an SEIU lanyard. Two other NUHW supporters were also encircled, and one was pushed in the chest.
*In early May NUHW organizer Gary Guthman was eating lunch with two NUHW leaders at Kaiser South Bay when they were surrounded by twelve hostile SEIU stewards and reps, three of who sat at their table and refused to leave. Kaiser security and HR representatives did nothing to stop them."
It is time for government to de-certify SEIU, and bring criminal charges against the leaders of the union. Looks like the SEIU can teach the Teamsters and organized crime how to bully and intimidate.
Why would any politician take money from these crooks?
