    Federal government charges six SEIU staff for illegal threats and intimidation

    Following a months-long investigation, the National Labor Relations Board has charged six SEIU staff members for illegally threatening and intimidating NUHW supporters and violating their rights under federal labor law.

    Among the Board’s charges against SEIU:

    • An SEIU staffer “implying that he wanted to engage in a physical fight” with a healthcare worker for supporting NUHW.
    • “Yelling obscenities” at healthcare workers because they supported NUHW.
    • Reporting workers to managers in an effort to have them removed from their own workplace for supporting NUHW.
    • “Threatening an employee with discipline, including termination,” if the worker “did not stop distributing NUHW literature.”
    • “Threatening not to represent an employee if she were discharged or otherwise disciplined… for engaging in support of NUHW.”

    All of these actions are illegal and these SEIU staff will be held accountable in a trial scheduled for April 12, 2010.
