Where are they now? Tyrone Freeman.

So did you ever wonder what happened to shameless dues-stealing, cigar-smoking, steak-eating, fired and banned-for-life former Local 6434 President Tyrone Freeman after the LA Times moved on to other corrupt SEIU appointees?

Here's the answer: He became a sports agent! Still in Los Angeles, Tyrone doesn't like to go into too much detail, but tells potential clients...

"I believe my recent personal experience evolving from turmoil, can be a testimony shared in preparing any athlete for the trials and tribulations of being a star."

Ah, the inevitable federal investigations that go with being a star! So is anyone else ready for a career change? Tyrone is here to help.

Tyrone Freeman, former President of the 190,000-plus member Long-Term Care Workers’ Union, began his tenure in the Labor Movement more than eighteen years ago.

At the age of 21, he led organizing drives in the South where the political culture for a young African-American activist demanded creative organizing. His leadership earned him the role of Executive Director of SEIU Local 1985 in Atlanta in 1994. In 1996, he became the youngest leader in the 90-year history of Service Employees International Union, elected to the International Executive Board.

Since he arrived in Los Angeles in 1999 and accepted the position of General President of ULTCW, he has accomplished a great deal.

In 2000, he was elected Vice President for SEIU International.

By 2001, Tyrone Freeman established a non-profit training center for the community that has secured over a million dollars in grants. The center serves as a healthcare ladder allowing homecare workers to train in the fields of Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), Licensed Vocational Nurse, (LVN) and Registered Nurse (RN). It offers computer classes for English and Spanish speaking members, basic skills training, as well as First Aid/CPR and the In Home Support Services Series.

Tyrone Freeman created the Long Term Care Housing Trust Corporation in 2003 that is building affordable luxury homes for union families. In August of 2005, the first two homes in the City of Compton were completed.

In 2004, Tyrone Freeman was inducted to the Board of Directors for the International Foundation of Election Systems (IFES). He also serves on the Prison Industry Board of Directors, the Community Financial Resource Board of Directors and served as Chairman of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Greater Los Angeles 2005-2008.

Tyrone Freeman spent nearly 10 years of his life transforming labor in California with his tireless commitment to lead the struggle for livable wages, decent housing and health care for all.

I believe my recent personal experience evolving from turmoil, can be a testimony shared in preparing any athlete for the trials and tribulations of being a star.

With this, I am committed to sharing my life story and experience with an athlete committed to hard work, and deserving of the best a team can offer.

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.
