This started 2 weeks ago on an Oakland A's Fan blog:
It all started when an SEIU PA staffer's husband IDed another union staffer from Cali on the blog...then the gossip started flying! Turns out 1021's new leadership got rid of a lot of staff (bye bye Andy-ites!)...
So readers: who is in and who is out?

I hear there has been a pretty major housecleaning
I hope it gets better. I could tell you some stories though I probably shouldn’t

Id like to hear them
Yeah everybody who was appointed by Stern got their asses handed to them in the local election. But the way the bylaws were created gave too much power to the Chief Elected Officer so were dealing with that shit now.

I couldn’t deal with the intrigue so I left.
