Architect of the groundbreaking Justice for Janitors campaign, Stephen Lerner has spent more than three decades successfully uniting hundreds of thousands of janitors, farm workers, garment workers, and other low-wage workers into unions and lifting entire communities out of poverty.

Lerner currently directs SEIU’s banking and finance campaign, mobilizing SEIU members and other community groups across the country into action to break the decades-long stranglehold Wall Street and big banks have had on our economy and democracy. Through this campaign SEIU is also partnering with unions and groups in Europe, South America, and elsewhere to build a campaign to hold financial institutions accountable in a global economy.

In his previous role as director of the union’s private equity project, Lerner launched a multi-year campaign to expose the overleveraged, unregulated and unsustainable feeding frenzy of private equity firms during the boom years and the economic disaster that would follow once the bubble burst.

Lerner is a frequent contributor on national television and radio programs and has published numerous articles charting a path for a 21st century labor movement focused on growth and meeting the challenges of a global economy.

It is not unions vs banks, it is unions vs mom and pop main street.

If true, the post below is ominous .. and you can see how
it could be purposely executed to a great calamity:

Post #32

“In WI a bank had to close early one day last week because all the police officers in that town went to remove their money because the bank would not put up pro-union signs. I think it was M&I Bank - not sure of the town. My brother a police officer told me about it so I am pretty sure the story is legit.”

This may get interesting, unintended consequences, should unions bring down the banks and busineses, they will tick off a lot of people who are still working but will lose their jobs. When they are no longer working, they won’t be forced to pay taxes, and the govt will have to cut back even further in spending..who will be the first to be cut? Unions by popular outcry as they will be perceived as villans....
