Chicago – Today, the General Executive Board of UNITE HERE met in Chicago and voted to suspend the General President, Bruce Raynor. The suspension comes as a result of President Raynor’s attempts to divide the union as well as promote SEIU as a competing labor organization within UNITE HERE’s jurisdiction. The vote margin was 32 in favor of suspension, 0 against, with 3 abstentions.
