Its seems the Zombies can't stop shooting themselves in the foot with shady, money stealing, members'-will-blocking appointed local presidents. This was emailed to me from Monty Kroopkin, democracy reformist and blog reader from way down in San Diego. Monty asks but 3 simple questions; questions that will most likely go unanswered, which only will further damage the credibility and accountability of 221 EB and Zombie International.
President's Day Open Letter on the Resignation of President Moore
Dear SEIU Local 221 Executive Board Members,
The sudden resignation of former Local 221 President Sharon-Frances Moore has raised many serious questions. Members of our union have a right to answers. Sadly, most members have heard about this situation, not from our own union officials, but from the articles in the San Diego Union-Tribune (if they have even heard about it at all)
Labor leader resigns amid election dispute
SEIU-sent officials to probe complaints
Please fully inform our membership on the answers to these questions.
(1) Is it true that the SEIU Ethics Commission opened an investigation of one or more complaints that Sister Moore allegedly violated the SEIU Ethics Code?
(2) If it is true, what was/were the complaint(s)?
(3) If it is true, what is/are the findings of the Ethics Commission?
Members have a right to know if our union funds were used improperly, or illegally. We have a right to know if any laws or union rules were violated by a Local Union president, or by any union official.
We have a right to openly discuss how to prevent such violations, if any, in the future.
It cannot be "ethical" to make the SEIU Ethics Commission's reports a secret.
With an annual Local 221 budget of about $7 million, we cannot tolerate a cover-up.
For Union Democracy,
Monty Kroopkin

p.s. -- Members or union staffers who filed any complaints regarding former President Moore (or regarding any other union official) should make their complaint(s) public. Because fear of retaliation may prevent someone from coming forward, an anonymous copy of a complaint may be sent to Reform221 at reform221@earthlink.net
or to 4440 33rd Place, San Diego, CA 92116.

SEIU is caught again. Corruption is rampant within local 221, as is the case in many other locals. Sharon-Francis Moore's predicament can range anywhere from stealing dues monies to forcing workers to campaign for her.
