A Perez reader wrote to say that she heard that SEIU will be laying off around 12 to 24 members of OPEIU Local 2 (office based staff from the Washington DC HQ), and that most will be from accounting and meetings & travel.
Some managers will also be laid off, as well as the Organizer 1's, and Grade 3 community and political organizers (what is Grade 3?), and also International union reps (staff who assist locals on Anna Berger's internal team).
The reader had heard nothing about communications or research staff, although suspects that since there is a huge amount of attrition in communications, they probably just won't fill open positions.
Have any readers at The International lost their jobs so far?
What is Perez Stern?
SEIU staff and officers think they can hide in the dark. Already in their hostile takeover of UHW they've injured members, held boss-style captive audience meetings for staff, and refused to give us their names.
Andy Stern and his appointees love to think they're rich, famous, powerful, and accountable to no one. A member led union just doesn't fit in with their plans for stardom! They like to drive around in SUVs with tinted windows, acting like they (literally) own the place.
So if they want to be famous, let's help them! If you're an SEIU member or employee, tell Perez what the SEIU trustees and appointees are up to, and help them feel just like Paris Hilton.
If you have a story or pictures for Perez, email him at perezstern@gmail.com We promise to respect your anonymity, but we encourage you to use your real name if you can.
