Last month, many UHW members were shocked by the violent outburst of SEIU staffer Liz Castillo, who slapped an NUHW supporter--on video. Liz, reportedly, has "voluntarily left" UHW after her outburst. Now SEIU's Delaina Contreras (former Local 521 staffer) has been trying to get 'more bees with honey' at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital, if you know what I mean.
Readers report that she has been "parading around the hospital in provocative clothing" and send flirty text messages to members.
Apparently, an NUHW supporter confronted her about her flirtatious ways and told her that if any of his friends vote for SEIU, it won't because of the issues--but because they like what she is wearing! Eek.
Reports also suggest that despite the come-hither approach of Delaina the workers are focused on real issues and are strongly supporting NUHW. The ballots will be mailed out on April 22nd.
