Local 100

SEIU Local 100 is no more. Local 100 is now an independent entity and has reverted to its old name United Labor Unions Local 100.

SEIU Local 100 is no more

Updated 9:10 a.m. In the wake of the SEIU revoking the charter of Local 100, the local's blog notes it is reverting to United Labor Unions, Local 100, which was its original name when founded in 1980. Although promising a new blog, the old posting still sports the SEIU affiliation. Well, well, the old site is taken down. I wonder if that had anything to do with the posting of the message? Updated 7:40 a.m. The old site is back up.

SEIU severs ACORN ties

Union friendly blog In These Times has an interesting post about ACORN and SEIU. SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger is quoted as saying “SEIU has . . . cut all ties to ACORN.”  The post also discusses the major ACORN donors who have ceased donating. New Orleans based Local 100, and the hard times visited upon it, including the SEIU's October 7 revocation of its charter is also detailed.
