SEIU-CNA Battle At Labor Notes Conference-SEIU Homecare Worker Dies
On April 12, 2008 at the Labor Notes conference in Dearborn, Michigan hundreds of SEIU members from throughout the mid-west were bussed into the convention to protest and disrupt the conference banquet.
The conference participants and staff stopped the SEIU staff and supporters from entering the banquet and the police eventually forced them to leave the facility. One worker Diane Feeley who just retired from UAW 235 of American Axle had a head injury and SEIU Michigan homecare worker David Smith also passed out and died during the confrontation.

The link is not working. and CNA someone give more information on the issues behind the fight and the death. Is there any realistic argument to say CNA (a fairly progressive union) was union-busting on SEIU? And how exactly did the worker die?
There are many other videos on the CNA site, SEIU UHW, SEIU SMART site and SEIU site.
