Scott Courtney, an executive vice president at Service Employees International Union, has resigned, according to a statement Monday from SEIU spokesperson Sahar Wali.
"This morning, President Mary Kay Henry accepted Scott Courtney's resignation as an elected officer and member of SEIU. This comes a week after she suspended him from his assigned duties based on preliminary information that surfaced through an internal investigation launched to look into questions about to potential violations of our union's anti-nepotism policy, efforts to evade our code of ethics and subsequent complaints related to sexual misconduct and abusive behavior towards union staff," the statement reads.
The statement goes on to quote Ms. Henry's previous comments that, 'There is no place in our organization for conduct that violates our code of ethics. Such conduct does not reflect who we are or represent the values that guide the important work we do every day for working people, our families and communities.'"
SEIU said it will continue its internal investigation and has made additional efforts "to ensure that, across our union, all staff are respected, their contributions are valued, and their voices are heard."
Mr. Courtney did not immediately respond to a request from Bloomberg for comment. He told the publication via Twitter last week he was "in no position to respond at this time," as he was on his honeymoon.
Mr. Courtney played a key role in the "Fight for 15" movement advocating for a $15 an hour minimum wage and unionization rights. He was suspended last week following an internal ethics complaint related to his relationship with a subordinate, his now-wife.
Look for the union label...
Creepy looking SOB. I'm sure he's like an octopus after a few open-bar G&Ts.
Rut rho!
Maybe Weinstein can get hired there.
SEIU prez is no oil painting either. Typical butch lefty female.
He’s from The Dominion and he’s doing a much better job imitating humans than Odo.
Libertines
She fits the stereotype for sure, but having been involved in battles against her union's organizing drives , I learned they are tenacious adversaries.
Big advantage in using their money AND your money (taxes) against you.
He'll show up pounding a voluntary contribution out of somebody.
Before it’s over, we may owe the wretched Harvey Weinstein a debt of gratitude. There seems to be some housecleaning taking place in various liberal institutions. Whether it continues may depend on how much pressure angry women and assorted genders are willing to bring, and how influential that is.
This is the baton that the left has tried to use to derail the right. Like mustard gas, I am glad the winds have changed and now sexual misconduct is taking down our enemy.
Where have you been?
It’s all right, we know where you’ve been.
