| help the Labor movement in Fresno NUHW (stop hostile take over by SEIU) |
|
The direction of the labor movement in this country will be decided in the next few weeks in an historic election of the 10,000 homecare workers in Fresno. Healthcare workers in California are fighting to get back control of their democratic progressive militant Union after a hostile takeover by the National SEIU.
Over 100,000 thousand workers have filed to leave the top down employer friendly SEIU after their Union United Healthcare Workers was trusteed last January.
SEIU has managed to block workers from voting at hundreds of work sites; the election here in Fresno will be pivotal.
NUHW a democratically run and member driven union for homecare workers in Fresno County.
Week ends and the GOTV period from May 28 through June 5 are the most critical.
This campaign is a project of the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW). For more information about NUHW, see www.nuhw.org.
