SEIU-UHW's Dave Regan Hunkers Down with Secret Hospital Deal

How bad is Dave Regan’s sell-out deal with the California Hospital Association?

Here's a small hint.

Regan and other SEIU-UHW staffers have refused to show a copy of the deal to the members of SEIU-UHW’s own Executive Board, according to readers.

So… what other details are hidden in Regan's secret deal with the Boss?

A reader forwarded the outline from an earlier draft of the deal. Here are some excerpts along with a few hyperlinked comments from Tasty in brackets.

Articulation of Shared Principles
