The SEIU has had such a busy couple of weeks, we’re just going to bullet point the list of activities – dig in for yourself to see the details! • In San Francisco, an SEIU mob attacked shopping mall security guards (video). • A mob of about 50 SEIU protestors took over a bank headquarters in Pasadena, CA. (video). • The union hired a marketing firm to launch a smear campaign against a Redding, CA, hospital using phone calls and mailed flyers, prompting the hospital to consider legal action.
• SEIU 1199 organized employees at St. Mary’s Hospital for Children in Bayside, NY. • A hospital in Los Angeles had to secure a restraining order to prevent an illegal strike threatened by SEIU Healthcare West. The threat alone cost the hospital a $90,000 non-refundable deposit on a $600,000 tab for replacement workers. • SEIU Trustee Dave Regan liquated a $4.1 million SEIU-UHW strike fund days before the trusteeship ended. • Sodexo was cleared by United States District Judge Claude Hilton to file its extortion suit against SEIU under the RICO act. • County government workers in San Diego voted to leave SEIU Local 221 and join the independent Association of San Diego County Employees (ASDCE) • For the fourth time in recent weeks, employees of a Canadian hospital voted to leave the SEIU Whew! That’s a mouthful. SEIU is on a roll.
