Remember the post
about the three SEIU-UHW shop stewards who were recently sued for violating civil
rights laws?
A source tells Tasty that at least one of these SEIU-UHW stewards
is now facing a second investigation for allegedly using her union position to extort vacation benefits from her co-workers.
Here’s what workers say:
Tina Anderson is an
SEIU-UHW shop steward in the Environmental Services Department at Kaiser
Permanente’s Vallejo Medical Center. Apparently, Tina used up all of her
accrued vacation… so she devised the following scheme to replenish her vacation
time.
She reportedly went from worker to worker in her department
and demanded that they “donate” a portion of their vacation time to her… or else she
would get one of the department’s supervisors to make their lives hell. Apparently,
she also added a little “carrot” to her “stick” by telling her co-workers that
if they complied with her demands, she’d instruct the department’s managers to
leave them alone.
Incredible, right? Although… nothing shocks Tasty after witnessing
the countless transgressions of Dave
Regan’s storm troopers.
In fact, perhaps Tina Anderson is simply taking SEIU’s partnership
with Kaiser to a whole new “21st
century” level. Or perhaps she’s modeling her career after John
August, who’s reportedly been using his powerful position within the
Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions to prey on others.
As they say, role models abound over at the Purple Palace!
