SEIU Pres Stern Helping Out Schwarzenegger-Whats Next? - by Labor Action Coalition, Bay Area Indymedia, CA
Schwarzenegger paid close attention to his union guests. Stern was seated next to the governor at lunch, and other union leaders were close by.
DeMoro, the executive director of the nurses' union, which voted last year to join the AFL-CIO, said union leaders who participated in the summit were betraying their labor brethren.
'It's really shocking frankly, because working people have been hit the hardest by the governor's healthcare policy,' she said. 'It says the right wing has been extremely effective in dividing the labor movement.'
Doug McCarron, the carpenters union president, called the criticism 'ridiculous. I want to see bipartisan programs and solutions for American workers.'
