When we last heard about him, John August was busy getting
canned from his job as the “Executive Director” of the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions for reportedly
sexually harassing and abusing
staffers... a story that Tasty first detailed on this blog.
So where is he now?
He apparently landed a gig at the labor center at Cornell University as an “Associate
Director” of the “Healthcare Transformation Project.”
And WTF does he do?
Most likely, not much.
According to Tasty’s sources, Cornell’s
labor center works hand-in-glove with both Kaiser and SEIU to promote “the partnership.”
As far as Tasty can tell, August’s works consists of
attending partnership meetings and peddling so-called “21st century unionism” at boring academic conferences where he searches for
fleeting romance among the unfortunate female attendees.
If August steps up his game, he may try to follow the path of Kent Wong.
Wong works at UCLA’s
labor center, where he was so tight with SEIU... that Tyrone Freeman appointed him to serve on the Board of Directors of the
Homecare Workers Training Center!

For those who don’t remember it, the Homecare Workers Training
Center was one of the nonprofit corporations that helped carry out SEIU’s
massive corruption scandal in Los Angeles.
According to IRS records, Wong sat on the center’s board of
directors for at least five years while Freeman diverted
thousands and thousands of dollars of funds his mother-in-law’s childcare
business.
So keep your eyes peeled for August at a boring conference near you!
