Last week, a
unit of 880 government workers in Fresno County, Calif. voted to decertify SEIU Local 521 by a vote of 319-228,
according to the Fresno Bee.
The county employees -- who include corrections officers, child support
officers, program technicians, and security guards -- voted to leave SEIU and join
a new union called "Fresno County
Public Safety Association."
According to
the newspaper, a second unit of approximately 500 benefit eligibility workers,
social workers, and job specialists also wants to decertify SEIU.
