    Seafarers Union Denied Injunction to Shut Down Reformer Website ufcw MFD forum
    In denying the injunctive relief sought by the SIU, the court ruled in its findings that Michael Sacco, President of SIU is a public figure and open to public criticism.

    The court also ruled that Sacco failed to provide the court with clear and convincing evidence that Swanson knew his statements were false, or that he made them with reckless disregard for their truth or falsity.

    Although a small victory, it is a moral victory for all union reformers and their quest to inform and educate union members about the truth about their unions through the medium of the Internet.
