So you would have SEIU do what, exactly? (Don't say "offer a reciprocal no-raid agreement" - remember, they've already done that, to no avail.) Allow CNA to systematically destroy them?

Why are your expectations of SEIU so much higher than they ever have been of CNA? Why do you accuse SEIU of "thuggishness" for launching retaliatory raids when you've previously defended CNA for flat-out, unprovoked union-busting? Why do you *always* accuse SEIU "thuggishness," but *never* CNA?
