Thursday, January 22, 2009 : On behalf of the 150,000 members of SEIU United Healthcare Workers – West (UHW), I want to thank Randy Shaw and the entire BeyondChron community for their attention over recent months to the critical dispute taking place within SEIU and its enormous implications for the U.S. labor movement.

In previous posts, Randy has reported and commented upon what UHW members would argue are the core issues at stake in this dispute: (1) the centralization of decision-making power among a small number of top SEIU officials and staff and the weakening of rank-and-file members’ voices with their employers and in their own union; and (2) the use of this newly centralized power to pursue top-down deals with employers and politicians that have sacrificed workers’ rights, employment standards and long-term capacity to build industry power – as well as workers’ historic alliances with consumers and support for progressive policies – in a failed quest for growth.
