SEIU Watch

A tentative agreement for a three-year contract between SEIU-UHW and Daughters of Charity has been ratified. The problem, according to one member is: “Despite reports from all hospitals that there was an overwhelming no vote, the yes votes appeared by magic in the ballot boxes and the deed was done.”

Most people believe Dave Regan rigged the vote; and it doesn’t help his case that he’s done it before (in 2012 at Chapman Medical Center). It makes sense that he’s not taking no for an answer when you take into account the massive number of members he’s lost recently. First, when Mary Kay Henry created a new local with half of his members (about 60,000); and again just last month when SEIU-UHW lost another 700 workers to National Union of Hospital Workers. In other news, the United Auto Workers Local 2350 currently represents 135 administrative and support staff for the Service Employees Local 1000. The two unions have been tangled in labor talks since 2012. Local 1000 employees will vote on the most recent contract soon. If approved, UAW will gain the arbitration rights back that they lost under imposed terms.
