Sometimes I think both sides should just go to their rooms for a time out. But short of that, what's your source on this? The only people I've heard make such claims about CNA are SEIU people; the claims about SEIU have been made by internal dissidents, including the leader of a large local who's about to be trusteed. Are there CNA dissidents? I'm not saying they don't exist - I just haven't heard of any. Have you?
