Dave Regan has reportedly surrendered
his sword to SEIU President Mary Kay
Henry by agreeing to transfer SEIU-UHW's
long-term care workers to SEIU Local 6434, according to one source whose report
has not yet been confirmed.
Earlier this
year, Henry
appointed former SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Eliseo Medina to serve as a "hearing officer" to iron out
the details of transferring the long-term care workers. Henry tasked Medina
with producing a recommendation by June 2.
In recent
months, Regan threatened Henry with "a
war" and violated a gag order imposed by SEIU's International
Executive Board. Regan also had SEIU-UHW's Executive Board pass a resolution that
opposed the transfer of the workers and also labeled Henry "a disappointment."
Nonetheless, Tasty's source says Reagan recently threw in the towel after months of energetic chest-puffing
and posturing that appears to have been little more than bluster.
More to
follow.
