They've really been getting pelted as of late:
Staffers at Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo voted to join the new National Union of Healthcare Workers and dump the Service Employees International Union as their bargaining representative.
It seems like the greedy union bosses at the SEIU are no better than the company bosses they "represent" workers against.
The breakaway union says SEIU has filed hundreds of frivolous charges with state and federal labor boards to delay elections at more than 360 facilities, noting that so-called "blocking charges" are a tactic commonly used "by employers and union-busting consultants" to stall union-representation elections.
Looks like we may not need just an Employee Free Choice Act, but an in-tandem law that makes it easier for workers to get rid of their corrupt unions if they're being taken advantage of.
Other groups of workers are leaving the SEIU as well for not representing them competently:
Until last month at St. Rose’s nurses were members of the Service Employees International Union. After much public wrangling and a vote, the 1,100 nurses became members of the California Nurses Union.
Will the SEIU Local 1021 be the next to leave to protest leadership malfeasance?
Union members are clearly peeved at their leaders for not adequately explaining the concessions the group voted down last week - and for not communicating about the idea of a revote next week either.
Oh, and this post was "sponsored" by the SEIU.
