RNs Call on Service Employees Union (SEIU) President Stern To Renounce Violence Following Brutal Attack on Labor Event

Targeting Women and Nurses in Attack and Stalking at Homes

In the wake of a brutal attack on a labor conference in Michigan Saturday night by staff of the Service Employees International Union, the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee Monday called on SEIU President Andrew Stern to “renounce the use of violence, and stop targeting women, nurses, and working people for threats and harassment.”

By their own admission, quoted in an SEIU press release after the event, SEIU said it sent 800 people to the event to confront CNA/NNOC Rose Ann DeMoro, the scheduled banquet speaker that night, and other female CNA/NNOC leaders who were at the conference.
