ACORN *IS* SEIU
Obama *IS* ACORN

There are other untold connections. SEIU is big in pushing amnesty too.

ACORN: Tax cheat - Group faces huge IRS liens

ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis told Fox News' Chris Wallace on Sunday that her group "absolutely pays its taxes." Not true: The IRS and Louisiana's taxmen have imposed nearly $2 million in liens against ACORN for failing to fork over taxes at its New Orleans national headquarters.

Kind of like herding cats or corralling sakes...you'll most likely miss at least one. They are scrubbing all incriminating evidence but they've not gotten it all. KA-BOOM is on the way.

Found this on DOL Site.
From 2008
Explains that Acorn and its proginy are actually community UNIONs.::

Examples of community organizing around labor market issues are proliferating. National organizations such as ACORN have partnered with local community groups to mount living wage campaigns across the country. Project QUEST in San Antonio, Texas, joined with the national Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) to establish a community training and employment center for low-income workers. In Long Island, the Workplace Project’s immigrant worker center passed a statewide unpaid wages law. The Baltimore organization BUILD has worked for the enactment of a series of city-wide labor market ordinances, including living wage, right-to-organize, and right of first refusal ordinances, as well as a “school counts” law that allows mothers moving off welfare to count education toward their work requirement. BUILD’s latest effort is to pass a $5 million endowment to create a Taft-Hartley plan, which includes a multi-employer health care plan for Head Start workers.

Why are community groups increasingly organizing workers? “First, they realize that no amount of public subsidy could compensate for the decline in work and wages,” said Fine. “Also, unions were not organizing in these communities. Finally, self-interest motivated inner-city churches with dwindling congregations and overtaxed social service infrastructures to engage in this new experimentalism.” Although these efforts are distinct and shaped by local concerns, they do share several characteristics in common:

Community unionism is place-based, nonsectoral, nonoccupational, and nonfirm/industry specific. “In many cases, one low-wage job in the service sector is similar to the next,” said Fine. “Communities of interest exist more around place, race, and ethnicity.” These groups operate largely outside of the labor movement and seek to organize workers in ways that cut across skill and firm boundaries.
Community unionism achieves more wins in the public policy arena and with employers in the public sector. Thus far, organizing has been geared more toward public policy fights than workplace organizing or representation. These groups are very successful in raising conditions across a local or regional labormarket through regu lation, as opposed to collective bargaining agreements with individual employers. But the reg- ulations are largely limited to the public sector or to work that is contracted by the public sector.
Community unions benefit from a freedom from bureaucracy, but also suffer from a lack of resources. Because these groups are firmly based in community efforts, they are free to experiment and can avoid the cumbersome formalities that accompany NLRB elections, since membership is looser than in traditional unions. However, dues collection is not always systematized, so they lack the resources and experiences of the labor movement.
Community unions challenge the definition of unionism itself. “Because they haven’t been conditioned by labor union structures or labor law, they consider themselves to be worker organizations or unions,” said Fine. “But their approach raises a question about what a union actually is.” These groups neither rely on majority elections nor perform collective bargaining. Finally, while they do represent minority unionism, they often have difficulty relating to labor unions because they are unwilling to subsume their efforts under an international rubric or to become part of a mainstream local or regional structure.

The diseased roaches of SEIU and AFL-CIO cannot stand the sunlight, so their demigod must shut down the exposure because he and the democrat party are dependent upon the criminal behavior these filthy, anti-American roaches provide every election cycle and most in between months.

...teachers’ union bosses gave about $500,000 to the same Brooklyn ACORN office exposed on BigGovernment.com. Both the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) awarded ACORN service contracts.

Birds of a feather...
