In reply to the discussion: SEIU Decorates Their NEW STALL In The Clinton Veal Pen [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)As witnessed by the repetitively bitter and predictably fact free responses you've provoked.
As a SEIU member since 1993, I have never been polled about any political endorsements.
And our SEIU pensioners/retirees haven't had a COLA since 2002. Up until then there were Cost of Living Adjustments every 4 to 6 years.
'68, '74, '79, '84, '89, '94, '98, '02.

Now it has been 13+ years without a COLA. And our wimpy state SEIU website advises:
"You should plan that your pension payments will never increase in retirement."
And what have we seen during those 13 COLA-less years? A huge fucking transfer of wealth to the One Percent.
What an amazing coincidence that those are the exact years in which the Clintons increased their wealth from being "flat broke" to quote Hill, to have a personal net worth of over $80 million.
