Hey, dirty Jackass Jake, when are you going to call Yoko down at the Guild and organize this scab rag. Don't you care about all the unpaid labor that cheapjack publisher Tim Keck exploits? Don't you care about your paid brethren? Dirty Jackass Jake, forget about the politics of SEIU. Look around your own backyard.
Trust me, I get the SEIU love; some of my best friends were and are SEIU organizers. And yeah, Stern is tight with Obama, the union has been influential throughout the healthcare debate, and I concede that they are the fastest growing union of the last decade. But please, you do your reportage disservice when such a simple, picayune error gets printed and perpetuated.
Don't get me wrong, Jake. I'm a big fan of your writing, and labor issues should be getting more column inches. Or blog pixels... or whatevs.
After all, three strikes and you're out, right?
Can we please stop repeating factual errors Mr. Blumgart!?
Strike one right here: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive…
