Hypocrisy, thy name is SEIU
SEIU’s motto is the same as Barack Obama’s: Do as I say, not as I do.
Guess who’s exposing SEIU’s hypocrisy? Workers laid off by the union in violation of their labor contract.
The protesters’ chants: “How do you spell hypocrisy? S-E-I-U!” and “Hey, hey, ho, ho, union busting’s got to go:”

Lotta hypocrisy going on these days…
I’m betting the union bosses don’t pay their taxes either.
No Sympathy
Geesh. Hope they don’t wake up with a severed horse’s head in bed next to them.
Hmmm. Is this not like a lawyer suing himself? No win scenario, unless you plead insanity.
My CSEA has similar problems.
We have Unions because management is awful…but that doesn’t make Union management immune either…
Ditto
They still seem clueless to me though, with that “union power” chant. But maybe these guys have to take baby steps…
Most unions have outlived their usefulness … many of them are the main reason that so many jobs left this country … the manufacturers couldn’t make the product and sell it at a reasonable price anymore due to greedy labor costs pushed on them by the unions
Awesome! A two-fer. Fewer union jobs and the union is to blame. Beautiful.
Kinda like during the campaign, when Obama was underpaying his female staff relative to his male staff, and McCain was overpaying his by a few percentage points.
SEIU is a total crap union, full of hacks and slackers. I was forced to be in it for a few years, and they did nothing but extract dues from me and give it to their Democrat flunkies (or is it the other way around?) in the Massachusetts legislature.
Because of them, I can never wear purple again, and I never really feel clean.
Belonged to the UFCW twice in my life. Never again will I willingly give money to a union.
Ahhhh, a nice schadenfreude sundae. Yum.
All unions are hypocritical. I tell this story to everyone I can.
My nephew (a liberal) working in SF experienced this during the SF hotel workers strike a while back.
The union workers were picketing outside a hotel, early in the morning, when a resident opened his window and asked for them to quiet down. He’d gotten in late and was trying to sleep. The response from the liberal SF union picketers? “Shut up you f-ing n*gg*r!” Yes, the hotel guest was black.
Gotta love liberal SF!
Typical. Union. Liberal. Hypocrites.
They all seem like clowns in a circus to me – only scarier and not as funny.
Talk about hypocrisy! They castigate the banking executives as being greedy, yet unions are the greediest bastards on the planet!
Schadenfreudelicious!
Nothing is going to come of this, SEIU owns the judges, no robe wearing liberal is going to rule against them.
Boy, that left shoe on the right foot sure feels tight, no? ROTFLMAO!!
What a bunch of pathetic losers.
Unions may have had good cause back in the days of company stores but those days are long gone and so should the unions be as well. All they do now is charge outrageous rates for doing very little. They openly support politicians who are directly responsible for sending Union jobs out of the country and they are charging the worker for driving their jobs off and leaving them unemployed. Let’s not forget their records with the taxpayer subsidized retirement funds. Where are the Acorn buses to protest these bloated union officials?
Oh, sorry, same party huh?
On the other hand, while this is only a start, maybe it is a starting point.
I just cannot feel a ounce of pity for them. Lay down with dogs, yer gonna get fleas.
I do have some sympathy for them..at least they are now willing to realize what a crock of s#$t the unions have become and always were…..they finally are starting to realize they have been among the willfully ignorant.
Look at the good Unions have brought to America:
* The Steel Industry
* The Auto Industry
* Manufacturing like CAT
* State & Municipal Employees
* Railroads or what is left of them
***All broken or on Bailout now.
Things that built America but have raised up the Entitlement Generation in blue collar America. They see it all washed out from under their feet because the Unions killed Industry and they see Business walking away from un-profitable enterprises and their Union dues got Socialists elected to Congress and the Presidency.
Retirement Funds and 401k accounts, health care benefits are tanking big time. Banks failing and the greatest budget deficits in the history of humanity.
Misplaced trust. Hope & Change my As*!
Look for $10.00 loaves of bread and $10.00 gallons of milk soon. Un-Employment at 25% before 2010.
Gasoline at 8 to 10 bucks a gallon.
Social Security is Broke.
Predicted here now.
Unions elected those that are Elite, the ones that are raping, plundering and pillaging the Treasury now.
Yeah, Unions. Thanks!
Pardon my ignorance here – but exactly how has a union fixed/corrected/improved “awful” management?
I might suggest that exactly the opposite effect is generally achieved – management gets with more union activity.
Unless I’m mistaken, this is the union that Blago wanted a position in.
why won’t bawney ask these union bosses how much money they take in bonusses? gee mr hoffa, how much do you make per year? mr gambino, as najority shareholder in the longshoreman’s union, could we look at your books? how about you mr capone?
The stronger the unions got, the more power its leaders sought. You can trend the increased corruption of a union as it tied itself to a national party. The union bosses ate and drank in the rarefied air of the Congressional leaders and assumed their right to be there as well (my, how power corrupts).
It did not matter what the rank-and-file thought or wanted. These leaders continued to emulate the D.C. power brokers by passing on short-term gains to their constituents at the cost of long-term failure. You might say they learned the D.C. shuffle all too well.
So here we have the crossroads for the unions. The unsustainable contracts devised are snuffing out the very businesses they supply labor for. These businesses are not without fault as they accepted the contracts even though returns have proven too high a cost. With normal people in a position like this, there is some form of compromise. But compromise in this arena displays weakness and egos involved won’t allow that. Result: the rank-and-file go to the unemployment lines when the business goes under or moves offshore. This is how the union watches out for its members.
So the union bosses continue to demand more than a business can pay: bye, bye business (unless your name is GM and you can get bailout money to delay the inevitable).
Sad to say, but Congress is also paralleling this. Demanding more of the business owners (taxpayers) than they are willing or able to pay. The government would have fallen earlier, except for an uneducated electorate and the ability to print money.
look at what an employer must do and pay for in this country to operate a business? they are responsible for taxes being collected and paid to local, state and federal. meaning they must hire a bookeeper. they are responsible for paying unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and all the payroll taxes such as ss and mediare/medicaid. if they are benevolent enough to pay health insurance and offer 401k plans, they spend tons of time evaluating plans and making sure they don’t violate the rules. again, who is at fault if things aren’t done properly. the business owner, criminally and civilly. and people wonder why businesses are leaving, and those who can’t leave are going underground with illegal workers.
Liberals are stuck in the past.
marxists believe that the entire world is Europe in the 1800s.
Unions seem to believe the same thing. (Wait, they are marxists.)
My bosses rock, by the way! I love my employer, and they love (genuinely love) their employees. (No, I am not related to them.)
If some union loser came by, I would have to try hard not to curse him out. I have a sweet deal, and I don’t want some loser outsider to mess it up.
I work at a Union supermarket. The only time a Union rep is around is when they are asking for our support on some issue. Their “quarterly” magazine doesn’t even show up half the time. When it does it gets smaller and smaller.
During the latest contract talks they constantly complained how management was unresponsive. Well, it took them almost a full year after the contract was voted on and approved to actually mail it out to members. When I tried calling them about it they hung up.
