Remember when Kaiser workers cleaned SEIU's clock on Tuesday? Check out the LA Times article on the election:
Kaiser Permanente workers vote to split from giant Service Employees International Union
Kaiser Permanente healthcare workers throughout Southern California have voted overwhelmingly to quit the giant Service Employees International Union and join a smaller rival union, according to election results released today.
The National Labor Relations Board, which tallied secret-ballot votes cast earlier this month, said that about 2,000 nurses and care professionals voted more than 6 to 1 in favor of ditching the SEIU and affiliating with the rival National Union of Healthcare Workers, a breakaway faction that is challenging the SEIU’s dominance.

And then read the comments, including this one:
Dear Brothers and Sisters, on behalf of the 81 organizers brought in from all corners "we apologize", Dave Regan and Anna Burger have threatened our livelihoods for the last time.
We were weak, we all believe in the labor movement, however, after 57 of us have been "laid off, pending review" we seek forgiveness.
