In the run-up to the election, Hewett implemented SEIU-UHW’s
plan to turn Kaiser’s hospitals into “World War III” battlegrounds to prevent
hospital workers from discussing their choices in the government-run election.
This article
describes how Hewett instructed dozens of SEIU-UHW’s shop stewards -- while
they were at a day-long, Kaiser-paid meeting -- to launch SEIU’s “WWIII”
strategy at the request of SEIU’s Dave Regan.
Next, Hewett was famously captured on film as she screamed
and beat her fists on tables inside the cafeteria at Kaiser Baldwin Park
Medical Center in Los Angeles. Check out this 4-minute
video -- Hewitt appears at 2 min and 30 seconds.
So why was Angela disrupting a cafeteria filled with
patients, their family members, and employees?
She and a bunch of SEIU’s thugs were trying to stop
employees from talking with 82-year-old labor legend Dolores Huerta
during their lunch break. Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the United Farm
Workers Union with Cesar Chavez, had come to the facility to talk about
the NLRB election at the request of NUHW supporters.
While Hewett was beating her fists on tables, an SEIU-UHW
organizer whom Hewett supervised -- Tiffany
Ford -- threatened to kill two hospital employees because they
supported NUHW. Way to go, SEIU. Days
later, two Superior Court judges issued restraining orders against Ford because
of her death threats.
So where’s Hewett now?
Well, she abandoned the purple ship… and landed a job at the
American Association of University Professors (AAUP) as the union’s organizing
director. WTF? Wonder what the professors will think when they
learn that Hewett favors intimidation over free discussion and debate.
Democracy much, Angela??
Hmm… and if Angela was trying to turn hospitals into WWIII
battlegrounds, wonder what her plan is for universities? Sounds like the profs
ought to invest in some body armor.
