SEIU has roughly 2.2 million members nationwide. Over 700,000 of them are in California.
In 2008, an election year, SEIU contributed, to the candidates of their choice within the state of California alone, 30 million dollars! Just what were their contributions at the national level?
It has been reported that unions contributed half a billion dollars to get Obama elected. Does anyone not know the reason why?
Let's use these numbers as an example: Our yearly raise has been, let's say, 3%. From that 3% SEIU takes out 1.8% for dues. (It's funny how that works!) We get 1.2% and they get 1.8%. This doesn't seem fair, does it?
The majority of the baggage community, so we have been told, pays at a reduced rate of 1.2%. (which riles the union to no end.) They have been trying to get the baggage community to once again become full members, but to no avail.
Now, we are hearing, that the union wants to raise our dues, which is the ultimate insult. They have done nothing in the 9 plus years that they have represented the rank and file. So, in this election year, it seems that they want to raise their level of contributions, to the candidates of their choice, at our expense.
Will you stand by idly and do nothing about this?
Think long and hard about stepping up and letting your voice be heard. Enough is enough!
Fill out the form sheet, follow the instructions and turn it in.
Good luck to us all!
