Going On in Cali...

Tasty's Facebook wall has been buzzing about the latest SEIU antics. A smattering of what the Zombies are up to...

• O'Connor members in San Jose got a lump sum pay out and some workers got more than $270 in dues taken out. Twice.
• Dequasia Gardner, Zombie rep, is in Tarzana Hospital threatening to have workers fired if they don't pay dues. (Members do have to pay dues when under a contract that obligates them to do it...but threatening people in their work area does not win you fans!)
• Henry Fernandez at Lakewood Regional Medical Center told members that they can not file grievances without a union staff member's approval--even stewards can not!
• 2 NUHW supporters (at St. Louise Regional Medical Center in Gilroy) Kristi Murillo, an ER registrar, and Laquita Centeno were turned down for a new job as an Urgent Care Clerk, even though they had more seniority than the member who got the job. And guess what the Zombie UHW did about it? NADA. The new SEIU appointed chief shop steward said that the hospital doesn't have to use seniority for new positions and wouldn't even try to help out the long term staff-the position went to someone hand picked by the boss. It is easy for the employer when the Zombies are asleep at the wheel!
  
• An SEIU staff member reported to Tasty that staff who are still in California are totally bummed out and everyday people gather to discuss what other unions are hiring. Even Zombies know that being a Zombie blows...

I'd like that SternBurger TO GO.

Welcome one and all to our new blog SternBurger with Fries.

Inspired by an NUHW supporter's shirt, I am here to provide you with the tastiest gossip and information about Andy Stern, Anna Burger, all of their minion and all of their worker-hurting, democracy-hating, nausea-inducing actions.

So, if you have info, ideas, fun or pics to share about SEIU, its staff, its practices...well send on over!

PS For those of you wondering, seems like PerezStern floated away in a silver balloon...Thanks to Perez for all the fun we had on that site, and will have on this site.
