-100 SEIU buses mean about 5,000 SEIU members (supposing that all who
-are on the SEIU buses are SEIU members).  SEIU has over 600,000
-members in California.  So, that means that the union mobilized less
-than 1% of its members in California to the LA rally.  And that's the
-union that is probably doing the most in mobilizing members for
-immigrant rights.

And thus illustrating my point that people on this list are incapable of 
saying anything positive about unions, even when the unions are doing 
positive things.  (and these comments ignore the fact that many SEIU members 
live in Los Angeles and didn't need buses to get to the rallies).
