Is An Underfunded Pension The Real Reason Behind SEIU’s Sabotage-Tainted Strike?

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  August 2nd at 09:00 AM  | 

Nearly a month after the SEIU had its members abandon elderly residents at several Connecticut nursing homes operated by Healthbridge Managment, the SEIU spin machine is going in full gear, even going so far as promoting a story over an elderly resident’s death. Earlier this week Communist Party USA supporter, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro [D-CT] joined her striking campaign contributors on the picket line, telling strikers, “They don’t know | Read More »

Did SEIU Strike-Related Sabotage Endanger Nursing Homes Residents In Connecticut?

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  July 16th at 09:30 AM  | 

Did militant members of the nation’s most notorious union, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), sabotage nursing home residents and put Alzheimer’s patients’ lives in danger as they walked out on strike? While there are no suspects, police reports filed with the Danbury, Newington and Stamford, Connecticut, seem to suggest so, as there are distinct parallels to the sabotage that was committed when the SEIU | Read More »

Ex-SEIU & Current DNC Boss On ObamaCare Ruling: “It’s Constitutional. B*tches.”

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  June 28th at 03:00 PM  | 

Though the grand master of community organizing, Saul Alinsky, may be dead, Alinsky’s disciples like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Patrick Gaspard are powerful positions and they are plentiful. However, even though their titles may have changed (e.g., Community Organizer to President of the United States), as the head of the Barack Obama’s re-election campaign machine, one might think that Patrick Gaspard would at least | Read More »

Open Thread: SEIU’s Astroturf Paid $20 To Protest For ObamaCare Outside SCOTUS

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  March 29th at 12:00 PM  | 

As you watch the video below [via SEIU Monitor], you can tell the astroturf protesters bused in by the SEIU yesterday to protest outside the Supreme Court for ObamaCare hold some very deep convictions. In fact, their convictions run so deep, it seems all they care about is the $20 given to them in brown envelopes by their union handlers. Ironically, as SEIU Monitor points | Read More »

SEIU Organizing Tactics Include Intimidation and Lying To Workers, Company Alleges

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  February 24th at 11:00 AM  | 

One of the biggest problems with the process known as card check (a major component in the union-backed and misleadingly-named Employee Free Choice Act) is that unions are legally allowed to mislead workers into signing their rights over to a union. Under various NLRB decisions that span decades, the federal agency that enforces most of America’s private-sector’s labor law has refused to interfere with union | Read More »

Meet the SEIU Operative Running Barack Obama’s Re-Election Ground Game

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 30th at 08:00 PM  | 

Last Tuesday, a pair of seeming coincidences occurred: The first was an article that appeared in the Hill about the SEIU splitting the costs with Priorities USA Action on an anti-Mitt Romney ad in Florida. The second was an e-mail that went out from 1199SEIU featuring ex-1199SEIU boss and current political heavyweight, Patrick Gaspard. While the two appeared unrelated, what they do have in common is | Read More »

Search Warrant Issued For SEIU Organizer In Out-of-State Voter Case

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 6th at 01:00 PM  | 

Last April, after months of laying siege to the Wisconsin capitol building, unions poured $4.5 million into the state to unseat Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser in an election. Though their efforts ultimately failed, unions did all they could legally and now, it seems, illegally to win at all costs. In October, Media Trackers uncovered documents exposing three SEIU-affiliated individuals who took advantage of | Read More »

Union Bosses Applaud Obama’s Unconstitutional Appointments to Union-Controlled NLRB

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 4th at 11:30 PM  | 

On Wednesday afternoon, the current President of the United States did what may be described as an unconstitutional end run around the United States Senate by “recess appointing” three nominees to the National Labor Relations Board (as well as to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) even though the Senate is not in recess. Notwithstanding the CFPB appointment, Obama’s seating of the three NLRB appointees—two of whom are | Read More »

CT Gov Schemes With SEIU To Unionize Day Care Providers & Others Without A Vote

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  December 8th at 06:30 PM  | 

Connecticut’s union-bought governor, Daniel Malloy, is apparently scheming with the SEIU to unionize his state’s daycare providers and personal care attendants through a secret plan using the flawed method of card-check unionization. By stripping individuals of their right to vote on whether or not to unionize, Malloy is virtually guaranteeing money (paid by taxpayers) will go into his SEIU cronies’ pockets. According to Raising Hale’s | Read More »
