SEIU heavy Andy Stern has often been quoted saying, “Workers of the world unite – it’s not just a slogan anymore.  It’s the way we’re gonna have to do our work.” According to the latest LM-2 financial report filed with the federal Department of Labor, Stern’s 2009 compensation totaled $306,388.  By comparison, the “Executive Secretary to the President,” Doris Butler, received a paltry $48,666. Another strong proponent of Marxist principles – in fact, the co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America – SEIU Executive Vice President Eliseo Medina took home a cool $242,286.  Fellow frequent White House visitor and SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger? $252,724. Perhaps SEIU’s new motto should be: “Socialism For Thee, Not Me.” [more...]

Part II – SEIU’s White House Go-To Man Still on Union Payroll in 2009

Earlier last year, ACORN founder Wade Rathke glowingly blogged that Patrick Gaspard, political director of the White House, was a former ACORN organizer.  When that claim started receiving a bit of attention, Rathke offered a retraction, saying his memory was playing tricks on him. What is indisputable about Patrick Gaspard is that at one time, he was the Executive Vice President of SEIU Local 1199, the New York City-based chapter that is the largest of all SEIU locals.  At some point in late 2007 or early 2008, Gaspard allegedly left SEIU to join the Obama campaign.

Part III – Understand Media Matters Targets

Media Matters has operated as a vile organization attacking all things non-progressive: Republicans, tea partiers, conservatives, non-progressive media.  So it should come as no surprise that Media Matters’ ire rises most when its funders are attacked. Most notably, Media Matters will trash all things non-progressive and in turn, its funders will cite Media Matters.  Case in point: AFL-CIO’s Rich Trumka recently gave a speech in which he said, “We are working to counter the Glenn Beck effect and turn anger into action for real change.” [more...]

Part IV – Union, ACORN Intertwined Before – and After – ‘Pimp and Prostitute’ Video Scandal

It was common knowledge that SEIU and ACORN were of the same tree prior to the James O’Keefe/Hannah Giles coast-to-coast video sting.  At ACORNcracked.com, I chronicled nearly two-dozen SEIU contributions to ACORN in just a few years. The last one, Citizens Services Inc, is particularly interesting, given that CSI was the entity Obama for America also hired for campaign work, as Michelle Malkin pointed out. [more...]

Part V – SEIU Target Bank of America is Recipient of Huge Interest Fees From the Union

Back in 2008, the SEIU took out a $90-plus million loan to fund its campaign activities, most notably, to elect Barack Obama president of the United States. Since that time, the union has been incurring huge interest fees. A couple weeks ago, I explained that SEIU is preparing a major offensive against Bank of America, its largest creditor.  The likely reason is to either pressure the bank into forgiving some of the huge principle on the loan or to negotiate a more favorable interest rate. [more...]
