You just can’t make this shit up. SEIU staff has voted to go on strike. That’s right, apparently the union has another union backing it’s employees against the hated union boss. Worlds are colliding here, and the hypocrisy and irony can’t be understated.
The SEIU “Union” asked for concessions from SEIU Union staff, backed by the Communications Workers of America Union. So a Union is asking what a private owner would ask of it’s employees, but the SEIU is doing exactly what it would normally be striking against any other company. My goodness this shit is priceless, they are eating their own and they don’t even know it.
There’s nothing more embarrassing for union bosses than their own unionized staff striking against them or, in this case, threatening to strike.
In San Francisco, SEIU staff, represented by the left-wing Communications Workers of America, has been without a contract since their contract expired last September.
SEIU boss Roxanne Sanchez, according to the San Francisco Bay Guardian, is trying to get her union staff to give concessions on their pensions and health care.
Last week, after months without a contract, 94% of the SEIU’s own union staff voted to strike.
“We’re very much united in our position and our willingness to do what it takes to get a decent contract,” Peraino told us. Sayre told the Guardian, “There is widespread sentiment they’re being low-balled by management.”
