SEIU Leader: My ‘Blue Collar’ Members Support Trump’s Message
Downtrend ^ | January 9, 2016 | Brian Carey

This wasn't supposed to happen.

The union goons have always been squarely in the camp of the Democratic party totalitarians, haven't they? After all, the economic pig-ignorance that characterizes of a large swath of unionized workers fits perfectly in line with the Democratic party platform.

It might surprise you to learn, then, that members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) support the message of GOP presidential candidate Donald J. Trump.

"I am deeply concerned about what is stirring, even in our membership... where our members are responding to Trump's message," said Mary Kay Henry, the international president of the SEIU.

She's "deeply concerned" that members of her union might have developed something called an "open mind." As a result, they're actually thinking about the issues, their families, and what's best for the country instead of just pulling the "D" lever when they vote on election day.

The horror!

"Sixty-four percent of our public members identify as conservative, and are much more interested in the Republican debate than the Democratic debate at the moment," she admitted.

Ah, if only we could have poll-watchers to make sure those conservative members don't vote Republican.

Life is so tough when you're trying to screw up a country....

Been saying this from the beginning, Trump will bring in the blue dogs and crack the EC map wide open... Trump wins and wins big.

No other republican does that.

Purple people beaters. The same scumbags who created the forced unionization scheme for home care workers in Michigan and elswhere and attempted to seize control of our constitutional amendment process. I guess it does explain why Trump did the 180 on wages.



Woo hoo, fight for 15!!!!!!

Union members realize that their thug leadership will sell them out in second - bringing in millions of illegals
to compete for jobs

You are stupid. The first quote was Trump's inartful rejection of raising the minimum wages from maybe the 2nd or 3rd debate. The second is Trump's desire for improving the overall wages, which have been stagnant for about 15 or 20 years due to the GOP and DNC shipping our jobs overseas.

Totally separate discussions.

—if it wasn’t for a forced dues checkoff, the SEIU would probably lose half of its membership—

None are more pro marxist than the SEIU not to mention the extraordinary number of illegals they collect as members.

These scumbags have showed up at factories during immigration raids to collect new members.

Trump’s even bringing in Black Muslims, in defiance of Minister Farrakhan’s denunciation of him.

A regular Hannity caller, a Black Muslim in Chicago, called Friday to talk about how he and some of his Black Muslim buddies are for Trump. The caller said he’s had bad experiences with Muslim immigrants, and supports Trump’s ban.

Hannity played Farrakhan’s denunciation of Trump, and the caller said he didn’t have to follow Farrakhan on that.

(I believe the caller was on the level. I’ve heard him call in for years. He’s taken a lot of ribbing from Hannity over the years for being a Black Muslim and believing in the mother ship.)

No way, wouldn't want a stick to the head sorting your marbles back in place. Prefer you crazy and dishonest.

A union of janitors is born.

In 1921, immigrant janitors from Eastern Europe, Africa, Turkey, Spain and Ireland came together in Chicago to form the Building Service Employees International Union (BSEIU). Today, the Service Employees International Union has come to represent some 2 million workers, over 25 percent of whom identify as immigrants - a constant tribute to the union's roots. From the start, SEIU has embraced its heritage as a union of immigrants and has stood on the frontline of immigrant justice.

SEIU “blue dogs?” LOL

Put SEIU into the FR search function and you get a long history of articles. Funny thing is, you won’t find anyone anxious to get the Communist thugs under our “tent”.

If SEIU (Govt Office employees) has this problem, I wonder what it’s like in the IBEW, Teamsters and UAW?
