You seen incapable of distinguishing between what SEIU does as a union and what comes out of mouth of the president of that union. You don't like what Stern's said publicly about "partnership" and the like, therefore everything and anything SEIU does is suspect. Not very nuanced position, wouldn't you agree?

What evidence do you have to indicate otherwise? What's the basis of your skepticism on homecare contracts? Stern's ideas about partnership in the private sector? AFSCME organizes homecare workers, too. Do you know how the improvement their members have been able to win compare to SEIU's homecare members? Or is AFSCME subject to the same skepticism you level at SEIU?
