I used the term "CNA thug" in half-jest on this list in reference to the arrest for battery of a CNA organizer at an SEIU represented hospital in CA. After Doug objected on the belief that real thuggery involves the use of brass knuckles and punches to the kidneys, I agreed that it was a poor choice of words on my part. This incident of course predates the LN episode.
If you've got something else -- which doesn't conflate two distinct incidents -- that demonstrates a change in SEIU's story on Dearborn, by all means share it now. SEIU's version of the LN conference has remained constant from the beginning: a relatively peaceful protest against unionbusting.
