Cohen talks a good game, but it simply rings false. He knows all three of their public employee campaigns are nothing more than pure raids that loudly yell cheaper dues and take credit for most success well after the fact. Just because there is no collective bargaining or NLRB involvement - it is still raiding other unions. Virginia - AFSCME, North Carolina - SEIU and SEANC and West Virginia - AFSCME and UMWA.
UE managed to survive the 50's raids of IUE, UAW and others unlike the 12 unions that did not survive. With their hollow anti raiding rhetoric as they raid bigger unions, how long before justified retaliation starts? Will they survive this time?
