The National Union of Health care Workers (NUHW) recently stated that they financially can not afford to pay a 1.57 million dollar judgment issued against them. In fact, the NUHW says it best by saying: “they do not have the resources and would face “bankruptcy” and “homelessness” if they are forced to comply with the award.” Former SEIU leaders misused millions of dollars from members dues to attempt to start the NUHW. One Kaiser Communications Center union member states: “If paying this court-ordered judgment is a hardship for them, they should’ve thought about that before illegally using our dues money for their own purposes.” This should be a clear “wake up” call for anyone who was or is thinking about union representation.
