Doing what, exactly? They have repeatedly claimed that the petitioning for decertification/deauthorization of SEIU in UHW-W-represented facilities is entirely the work of the UHW-W members. NUHW doesn't legally represent any healthcare workers or have any contracts with any employers, so there are no working conditions for NUHW staffers to observe or contracts to negotiate or grievances to process. According to NUHW's own press releases and literature, UHW-W members who have passed araound NUHW petitions or refused to participate in bargaining conducted by SEIU staffers have been suspended or even fired. Obviously, SEIU is not going to spend members' dues money to protect people who disown SEIU as their representative. How come no one is expressing any concern or taking up any kind of collections for those people? workingjustice So “NUHW staff are working long hours without pay or benefits”? Doing what, exactly?
