SEIU seems to have a full plate, as the NLRB just announced an order that will lead to a re-run of the huge Kaiser election in California. The election involved 43,000 employees, and the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) charged SEIU with election improprieties that the NLRB upheld. The election was originally between no representation, representation by the incumbent United Healthcare Workers (part of SEIU), and the SEIU breakaway, NUHW. An administrative law judge ruled that SEIU improperly coerced workers caught in the middle of the high-stakes turf battle between SEIU and NUHW. 
SEIU launched a seven-figure media campaign in Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Montana, Nevada and Virginia, targeted at African-American and Latino audiences. The campaign will include broadcast and cable television, radio, direct mail and phones and online advertising, and is designed to put pressure on Republican lawmakers. Seems those dues dollars tend to burn a hole in SEIU’s pocket. SEIU also found a new source of dues dollars: the “healthcare” workers of Planned Parenthood. In Oregon, Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette became the first victim in a 97 to 43 win by SEIU.
