After losing a lawsuit and facing a $7.8 million dollar judgment, Service Employees International Union Texas, alias SEIU District Five, has declared bankruptcy in order to escape the judgment. The plaintiff is going after the national union, as it should, so stand by lots more court appeals, But so far, the SEIU is losing at every step.
Bill McMorris has an excellent account of the case and its background, at the Free Beacon. I recommend it.

Crush these commie front bustards.
Has Obama issued an executive order giving them a bailout?
Don’t feel too bad for them. They have been given millions of dollars over the past 8 years and have plenty of money to pull from and file useless lawsuits.

Just like ACORN. Will have a new name by Jan 1st. Back in (the mob) business.
Hehehehehe
Yet another reason to celebrate!
Our champagne tab is getting a bit pricey.
Can’t wait for Trump to replace all the commie Fed judges.
Just imagine...SEIU Chicago comes down to organize, only to be crushed unmercifully by the right-to-work system in Texas, as well as their own fecklessness and deceit. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of hoodlums. I’ll nominate this for the Internet feel-good story of the day. ;-)
AWWWWWWWWWWWW!
hahahahahaha
Now if only they would go after the Teachers’ Unions like the NJEA and UFT......
They need to be dissolved if we are ever going to get education back on track
Yep
All public employee unions need to be disbanded.
If unions can use bankruptcy to dodge an obligations, why shouldn’t states, if there’s no constitutional prohibition, be able to do the same thing?
Had the DA done his job, they should have been prosecuted under RICO, which would have made them ineligible for bankruptcy protection.
