Battle Within SEIU Comes to a Head with Executive Board Vote on Future of One of its Largest Locals
We look at the latest on a major battle within one of the countryâs largest labor unions, the Service Employees International Union. SEIUâs executive board is meeting today to decide whether to dismantle one of its largest locals, Californiaâs 150,000-member United Healthcare Workers West, by merging all or part of it into a new California affiliate. Critics of the proposal say SEIU president Andy Stern is trying to push ahead with the move despite overwhelming opposition from local members. [includes rush transcript]
@Mahoivlich: SEIU is loosing touch with a union's democratic principles. I have seen this "top down" rule that Rosselli talks about and it is not pretty nor does it have any fans. Stern picked the wrong local unions to try his dictatorship tactics. Respectfully, Zingrich!
