Following up on the internal power struggle within the SEIU union, the gnashing of teeth continues. Today’s San Francisco Chronicle says that a new letter from SEIU chief Andy Stern accuses his lead critic Sal Rosseli of misconduct. The article cites Rosseli and others:
"…said the allegations appear to be a prelude to a trusteeship, under which Stern would replace the union’s elected leaders with his own appointees."
Sounds like quite the consolidation of power. Stern is a leading proponent of pouring massive amounts of forced union dues into coercive "card check" union organizing, and the outcome of this power struggle could have serious implications for American workers victimized by such campaigns.
If you haven’t already, be sure to take a look at this video detailing the coercion inherent in union "card check" campaigns, and how the National Right to Work Foundation is helping employees fight back.
