United Healthcare Workers-West President, Sal Rosselli is calling on SEIU President Andy Stern to compromise and reconcile with the large local on the forced moving of 65,000 UHW members into another local.

[Roselli]: “Our members have repeatedly instructed us in no uncertain terms to resist the forced, undemocratic transfer of our long term care members out of the UHW without a free choice.”

SEIU International’s Michelle Ringuette says the reorganization has already been decided through democratic means abiding by the SEIU constitution in the wake of findings from former Labor Secretary Ray Marshal.

[Ringuette]: “In the wake of these findings of serious financial wrongdoing and the practice of undemocratic procedures, today’ s move by Sal Rosselli and his leadership team really comes as no surprise.”
