  • Without arbitration or right to strike, its not collective bargaining. It's whats called "meet and confer" or more accurately "meet and beg." Unfortunately SEIU cut a deal with the governor, undermining other unions like CWA that wanted to keep fighting for a real collective bargaining law, and then backed a law taking away the right to strike, all for a weak executive order that will be torn up by the next GOP governor. This is part of SEIU's "partnership" approach where they side with bosses against workers rights.

    Let workers choose: Giving workers a voice is the purpose of unions

    "We think the best thing about this particular measure is its potential to make unions, when needed, better. Happy, well-compensated workers with good benefits who are treated fairly aren't tempted by, nor do they seek out, unions. And when they do, the unions provide a balance that the government and the courts do not.

    The upshot for workers under Amendment 47 is that once the unions are in place, the lack of a guaranteed membership means the unions will have to continue to deliver on their promises in order to thrive."

  • Sources within SEIU International expose plan to divert hundreds of staffers away from November election to prop up Stern's illegal trusteeship of UHW-West, a move aimed at crushing dissent in the union.

    Colorado SEIU leader Mitch Ackerman fully backs Stern's dictatorial actions.
