The progressive quandry of SEIU
http://www.zmag.org/znet/viewArticle/23370
"For another union to come onto your turf and take advantage of what you've built, that is piracy on the seas of organized labor," declared Gerry McEntee, president of AFSCME. "What SEIU is doing is bullshit," McEntee shouted, before leading delegates in a chant of "Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!" In his convention speech, Vince Giblin, president of the Operating Engineers, repeatedly referred to SEIU president Stern as the "Darth Vader of the labor movement." Stern's AFL-CIO critics were joined by Terry O'Sullivan, president of the Laborers, a fellow CTW founder. He told the delegates: "What happens in this fight we have with SEIU will determine what kind of labor movement we have...We didn't join Change to Win to raid and hijack another union's members."[ii]

Some inside dope about SEIU in-fighting
http://theunionlabelblog.com/2009/06/01/some-inside-dope-about-seiu-infighting/
There are many more links I could give you but you get the gist of where my head is on this. When I was researching the campaign finance database I could not believe my eyes. Thousands of dollars are being contributed to MD politicians by the SEIU. It has left me wondering why. It literally jumped off the screen at me. That one question, why, is disturbing.
I hope that Maryland State workers are not headed towards a in-fighting battle between the SEIU and our approved unions. Let's face reality, the unions currently approved are God-like compared to the SEIU. The SEIU had a joint bank account with ACORN at one time ... that says it all. It wasn't until ACORN was shown to the nation for what it really is that they claim to have disassociated with them. I say "claim" ... because I do not believe it.
Andy Stern has visited the White House more times than any other person. That's scary. Andy Stern is a radical and it is his way or the highway. The unions seem to be involved in everything that is occurring federally ... they played a major role in the health care reform debacle. The reason SEIU has so much power is MONEY. It is a simple philosophy ... keep the money pouring in and legislators will work with you on what you want to have approved. This was evidenced by Obama's closed door meeting with the unions to come up with a "deal" on health care reform ... the "deal" was that unions would be exempt from the cadillac health plan surcharge for 6 years. Little did they know that Scott Brown would take Ted Kennedy's seat and blow them all out of the water. The night that Scott Brown won that election was the night my entire outlook on life changed. It showed me that people do make a difference and the little people can work together to change things they do not approve of despite all of the money and closed door deals that are made in DC.
That being said, I have to say I am concerned. We need to be on the ball when it comes to SEIU. The last thing Maryland workers needs is this cut throat union coming in here and trying to take over like they are doing elsewhere. I do not know if that is the intention but I do know they are buying something by way of political contributions ... I just do not know for sure what it is they are after. If it is us ... I will fight that tooth and nail and if push comes to shove, I'll help the other side in doing that.

SEIU is the union that represents CASA Maryland.
And the hits keep coming!! I hate all unions! They have become bloodsuckers on the backs of the American workers.
Sounds like the battles that took place between the Mafia bosses at one time.
Also sounds like the battle between gangs that takes place over "turf". SEIU wants to take over the other union's turf to gain more union due money. We need politicians that will stand up to these unions and stop them in thier tracks. This is not a good thing for America.
It definitely isn't a good thing for government workers (State). There are more unionized (by way of service fees because of legislation) state workers around the country then there are in the private sector because State workers are easier to get ahold of. That's because of political donations.
I have learned that politics is all about the money, who has it, who doesn't. With the new Supreme Court ruling on campaign donations we are going to be hearing alot more about contributors getting federal and state contracts (like yesterday's 25 million dollars payback by Obama). There should be something we can do about it but there isn't. After all, isn't that our money?
The only way to get to an even playing field is the kind of change that stops these decisions in their tracks, like the election of Scott Brown. We, little people, need to keep on trucking down the road and pick off the legislators that bend to contributors, one election at a time.
THe latest statistics I read last week are that the unions are now comprised of more government workers than private sector. That says a lot right there. In addition to this country not manufacturing anything anymore, they have to look to the government pool for their support. What a shame!
It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]MBT[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]mbt sneakers[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] more remarkable.
MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]shoe for worked[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]MBT[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]mbt shoes review[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]mbt sneakers[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]MBT shoes[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]MBT[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.
The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]MBT shoes[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]shoe for worked[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]MBT shoes[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.
As to the question of whether they [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] are worth the money I suppose this has to be a personal judgement. If [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] you spend long periods of time on your feet then you may [U]mbt sneakers[/U] benefit from them. However, if you are someone [U]MBT[/U] who just goes for gentle walks to keep fit then perhaps a [U]mbt sneakers[/U] good pair of conventional trainers at [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] half the price will be fine.
Tiffany's jewelry is world famous company and if [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany necklaces[/URL][/B] you cannot afford the actual jewelry there are a lot of Tiffany inspired jewelry to choose from. While Tiffany's [B]tiffany[/B] has produced some more affordable pieces like key chains and money clips [U]pandora bracelets[/U] for those wanting the elegant pieces without the price tag there are other options. Tiffany produces bracelets, rings, earrings [U][B]tiffany co[/U][/B] and necklaces.
Besides the traditional Tiffany's style, the jewelry [B]tiffany necklaces[/B] comes in the traditional blue box and you can even find Tiffany inspired jewelry that [B][URL=http://www.pandoraforyou.com]pandora[/URL][/B] reproduces the Tiffany style down to the box. Tiffany jewelry is traditionally sterling [U][B]tiffany[/U][/B] silver as the Tiffany Company has produced a special blend of silver that is very strong [U]pandora[/U] and will last.
It is not a direct replica but it is inspired from the Tiffany style so [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany co[/URL][/B] many of the pieces are very similar to Tiffany. Some companies [U][B]pandora[/U][/B] may even produce direct replicas. The main difference between real Tiffany's jewelry [U]tiffany charms[/U] and the inspired version jewelry is the price tag. They are just as beautiful [U][B]tiffany bracelets[/U][/B] and classic as the real ones but at much more affordable prices.
