SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ―
A state worker is recovering after a bloody brawl at a union hall. He says members of the local SEIU 1000 beat him up and sent him to the hospital all because he wanted to expose alleged corruption within the union.
Ken Hamidi is a state worker at the California Franchise Tax Board. Last night he walked into a union hall in Sacramento for an SEIU local 1000 meeting.
"We had every right to be here, very simple; it wasn't anything private or anything exclusive," said Hamidi.
But Hamidi says the union members did not want him there.
"Three, four people jumped at me, wrestled with me, then did all that," said Hamidi. "I was covered in blood and then over to the emergency room."
Photos of Hamidi in the hospital show him bloodied from the brawl. So why did this happen? Besides being a state worker, Hamidi says he's an unpaid reporter for a cable access show and a vocal critic of the SEIU. He calls the state workers' union corrupt.

The tolerant, peaceloving left.
No criminal charges have been filed in this case.
^^
What? Even the police are afraid of the SEIU thugs? I sure hope someone got the beat down on video.
Sounds like a hate crime to me.
They beat the tar out of him, put him in the hospital.
Hopefully they’re investigating and arrests will be made when they ferret out who all did the beating.
Suggest to him that he go to one of his union meetings and stand up and suggest they do something totally contrary to union practice, such as giving campaign to the pubs for a change. Ask him to get back to you after he gets out of the hospital.
I hope Hamidi sues the state and SEIU.
This was on CBS ???????????
It was on the CBS affiliate in Sacramento where the incident occurred.
I hope FReepers will spread it to other sites in order to broaden dissemination of the story. The public needs to see and know everything they can about SEIU and its connection to zero and to ACORN.
