Is SEIU heading in the right direction?

Jimmy Higgins — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 08:01:43 +0000

There seems to have always been factions within all unions. In SEIU, we have a strong contingent of those who would adhere to militant labor traditions, especially embracing and maintaining a perpetually adversarial role toward management. Some of these would rather dissolve all labor-management committees, and enter bargaining as avowed enemies.
We were moving toward a more cooperative role under Andy Stern, but now there seems to be a sentiment among leadership to return to such militancy and confrontational direct action tactics. read more »

Layoffs - what should you do?

Scott — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 07:12:02 +0000

With the layoffs coming soon, everyone should consider what their options are. The DHS Local 200 has come out with some information about their options. It's certainly a good starting point for everyone to look at. You'll have to adjust for your own contract obviously.

Naughty Joe (Still) Must Go

Scott — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 07:10:09 +0000

As much as we'd like to stop beating this dead horse, it just won't go away.

The good news is, Joe won't be president for much longer. Our new president, Linda Burgin, will be sworn in on November 14th. She'll take over starting with the Board of Director's meeting on November 15th.

Since Joe is all about the money, I don't expect to see him at too many union functions in the future. After all, the immediate past president isn't a paying position. It's completely volunteer time like the rest of us poor working members have to do for our activities. read more »
