SEIU's display of fascist-style thuggery against the AFL-CIO backed California Nurses Association at the Labor Notes conference April 12 in suburban Detroit has shocked the political Left. Although subject to MSM blackout (see "Media silence weakens labor's cause"), videos and commentary are hot on the internet.
Keen political observers are paying close attention to the mounting inter-union terror tactics. They realize that organized labor is the 'backbone' of the Progressive movement. They know that unwitting 'fellow-travelers' and 'useful idiots' could become turned-off to union-backed Democrat candidates in November as a result of escalating, violent dues fights.
