Could it be he just can't stand losing money, members and labor allies left and right?

I'm sure he'll have some excuse. As much as I'd like to see him go, I think his leaving when SEIU is in such disarray is really chicken-shit. He should stay and clean up his own mess, but I'm sure he'll claim his expertise is needed elsewhere. It will be interesting to watch the fight break out over his succession.
ReplyDeleteHe will surely live to mess up another organization, or possibly our own country!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could give him to the GOP so he can "straighten" out their mess!
