Isaac MacMillen has a very good piece that details some of the most recent corrupt practices of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) at a blog called NetRightNation.com. Titled The SEIU: A Case Study in Corruption, McMillen shows how the SEIU’s actions prove to be “business as usual for the notoriously heavy-handed SEIU hierarchy.”

Here on TheUnionLabelBlog, we’ve often discussed the sort of top-down, near fascist control that SEIU president Andy Stern holds over the SEIU, we’ve talked of his practice of hostile take overs of smaller unions in order to conquer the country to garner personal power, and we’ve also discussed the criminal actions of many of the SEIU’s bosses in California. But one thing we haven’t discussed too much — aside from one post last year — is the SEIU’s hiring of a private security force to intimidate members of the offshoot CHW union.

MacMillen talks of this private security force and reveals that the company hired — the OSO Group — has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit over fees not paid to them for services rendered.

In any case, Mr. MacMillen has a very nice recap of these SEIU scandals. Go on over to The SEIU: A Case Study in Corruption and take a look.
