An email Perez got today says:
"The conference call this past Friday with all SEIU International staff who are UUR members where SEIU top brass basically said that the majority of them were getting shit-canned. Massive, massive layoffs. All Organizer 1's, plus a bunch of other organizers, field reps, researchers and communications people. I guess when the choice is paying your staff to do their jobs or paying lawyers to take over a democratically-run local, SEIU knows what side they roll with.
Staff are less-than-pleased with the situation, esp. as the layoffs are not going by seniority."
Didn't The International only just lay off almost all of their probationary organizers? By the way, UUR is International staff's own union, the Union of Union Representatives. Organizer 1's are organizers just past probation, usually in their second year with SEIU.
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.
