Fresno update...

As of 5pm the count stands at 2569 to 2769, but the PERB will not say which union is down by 200 votes! There are still about 500 assorted challenges to be dealt with, and this may or may not get wrapped up tonight.

No sign of Mary Kay or Dave at the count, poor Rebecca Malberg seems to be SEIU's most senior staffer there. Readers say the mood from both sides is serious and quiet, but SEIU look especially pale.

Something's been punctured, but it's not "the heart of the thing that is NUHW"!

Update at 7pm...

The vote is still not final, but it's clear that SEIU will take the official count by about 200 votes (at $3,600 each!). It's likely that NUHW will then file challenges based on all the kind of things we've seen on the blog the past few weeks, and very possibly overturn the election.

What a terrible return on SEIU's $10 million investment - 200 votes is just about a coin toss!

So in summary... for NUHW and their supporters this is both a big disappointment and a very good sign, for Fresno homecare workers it's a huge loss, and for SEIU it's a disaster that Perez predicts will have a string of consequences!

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.
