SEIU pickets…SEIU!
The Service Employees International Union, considered the most influential union in the nation, has notified the union that represents about 220 of the SEIU’s national field staff members and organizers that it is laying off 75 of the employees.
In return, the workers union, which goes by the somewhat postmodern name of the Union of Union Representatives, has filed charges of unfair labor practices against the SEIU with the National Labor Relations Board.
I asked the question: will there be picket lines?
Now we know. The answer is yes.
“How do you spell hypocrisy? SEIU!”
That was the chant today in front of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The SEIU “broke their union contract,” and laid off 75 unionized staff members. Those workers picketed the union today with slogans like “EFCA’s First Violator Who? SEIU” and “Stop Union Busting.”
[clapping madly]: It’s just like Christmas! With video!
Hat tip to Anne Leary, Backyard Conservative. Saw it at Real Debate Wisconsin, too.
Still no word on whether other SEIU chapters will strike in solidarity with their union brothers.
