It's whats called "meet and confer" or more accurately "meet and beg." Unfortunately SEIU cut a deal with the governor, undermining other unions like CWA that wanted to keep fighting for a real collective bargaining law, and then backed a law taking away the right to strike, all for a weak executive order that will be torn up by the next GOP governor. This is part of SEIU's "partnership" approach where they side with bosses against workers rights.Jimmy HigginsSat, 13 Sep 2008 12:56:32 -0000http://coloradoindependent.disqus.com/largest_union_campaign_a_success_in_colorado/#comment-2400349Sources within SEIU International expose plan to divert hundreds of staffers away from November election to prop up Stern's illegal trusteeship of UHW-West, a move aimed at crushing dissent in the union. <br><br>Colorado SEIU leader Mitch Ackerman fully backs Stern's dictatorial actions.<br><br>see story at<br><a href="http://www.sfbg.com/printable_entry.php?entry_id=7115" rel="nofollow">http://www.sfbg.com/printable_entry.php?entry_i...</a>Jimmy HigginsWed, 17 Sep 2008 12:50:55 -0000
