SEIU’s Henry: Trump executive actions prove his agenda panders to extremists
Service Employees International Union ^ | 1/26/2017 | SEIU International President Mary Kay Henry

Posted on 01/26/2017 7:08:31 PM PST by mdittmar

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to President Trump’s executive actions on building a border wall, immigration enforcement and restoring the “Secure Communities Program” today, SEIU International President Mary Kay Henry issued the following statement:

“For a president who claims to represent and lead from a posture that is not partisan and of the people, Donald Trump’s executive actions have proven that his agenda is anything but that. It is clear our president is choosing to pander to extremists and act as a puppet for their agenda aimed at dividing and weakening our nation rather than honoring the commitment he made in his oath of office, ‘to preserve, protect, and defend’ American justice, welfare and liberty.

When I walk into the CA DMV Office and I see nearly everyone behind the Counter wearing SEIU T Shirts, we have a problem and a lousy Dress Code to boot.

What - the service industries couldn’t use more American citizens in those jobs?

I’d like to see the President issue an executive order abolishing all federal employee unions.

I believe they were originally created by executive order, so it’s his call to do, anytime he wants.

Just wait until he fills the two vacancies on the five member NLRB... (which now has one Republican and two Democrats seated). I don't think it will take long to then overturn a number of the loonie Left labor organizing practices favoring unions that were put into effect during the Obama regime... 😏 To all those who said "there is no difference between having a Democrat and a Republican" in the Whitehouse, I say: yeah, sure!

I have noticed that the Anti-Trump, pro-Obamacare ads running in the Phoenix area are funded by the SEIU. I wonder if all their members are aware of that.

I think it was just trade union leaders he met with. SEIU is public employees mostly.

This is one union that I hope Trump shuts down and puts the entire thug leadership in prison.

Next executive action. De-unionize all Federal Employees.

Or better yet, restrict the payroll withdrawal of Federal Union dues and require everyone to write their own check to the union. See how long the union lasts.

So let me get this straight:

Trump is about to rewrite the order of our economy and push the mass creation of jobs and improvement of income in middle-class America.

This would necessarily cause an explosion in the number of jobs commonly held by SEIU members.

And they are complaining about it?!?

Yes, I know what they stand for I’m just pointing out what they SHOULD by common sense be standing for. Just like the rest of the labor unions figured out yesterday. Yes, they are scum. Yes, we’d be better off without them but more jobs in their industries simply means more members and more power.

The enemy of my enemy and all that. One battle at a time.

But the SEIU is apparently not even willing to have its bread buttered by a different administration when it is handed to them on a silver platter with a note that says “on the house”. They’re all-in for the liberal establishment and the cause and NOT as an employees “union”.

Coming from a Marxist created union (out of the old District 65 of the Communist Party USA and Local 1199 (another CPUSA creation), if I remember correctly (about 1199), this is old leftist garbage.

Yada, yada, yada.

Keep pushing, Mary, different landscape now...nothing behind you to back you up now...if you look behind you it is just the short bus stopping to pick you up!

Would you like a lift, perhaps to a ‘Labor Ready’ temp job center?

Some union thugs just can’t even think about what Trump will do to them. Others like the Auto Workers Union thugs get it and want to be part of the new order. Any questions?

Turns out 1/2 of the voters in the USA are extremists.
