(from blogs.dailymail.com)Marin County, California, the limo liberal capital of the world, may see its county workers dump Barack Obama’s union for a locally owned one — the Marin Association of Public Employees. SEIU represents 1,500 of the county’s 2,100 employees.
“In January, a petition requesting the decertification of SEIU was submitted to the county. Maya Gladstern, a systems support analyst with the company who is helping to coordinate the campaign for the association, said at least 30 percent of county workers have signed the petition, the minimum required for decertification,” the Marin Independent Journal.
Marin County was the place where Obama made his infamous Bitter Clinger remarks that stereotyped teh people of rural Pennsylvania as a bunch of rubes.
“Gladstern said most of the complaints about SEIU stem from the union’s decision, three years ago, to merge many of its smaller local unions in California into four large locals,” the newspaper reported.
The SEIU is the Walmart of unions.
“Gladstern said the union’s strike fund, which amounted to about $80,000 to $100,000, has been absorbed by SEIU, and the Marin employees are likely to see an increase in their union dues from 1.2 percent of their salary to 1.75 percent,” the newspaper reported.
Hope. Change. Union dues.
