President Of SEIU Arrested At #OccupyWallStreet Swarm On Brooklyn Bridge



Nov 17, 2011 10 Comments ›› Pat Dollard

New York Times:

Among those arrested at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge early Thursday evening was the city’s top labor leader and the president of the nationwide Service Employees International Union, according to a union spokeswoman.

The labor leader, George Gresham, the president of 1199 S.E.I.U. United Healthcare Workers East, and the president of the S.E.I.U., Mary Kay Henry, were arrested along with Kevin Doyle, the executive vice president of S.E.I.U. 32BJ.

They will most likely be charged with disorderly conduct, the police said. As of late Thursday, they had not been released.

    They’ve insultated themselves from being fired… They’ve got nothing to lose unless they turn on the Union.  It’s not like they have to abide by a community standard in one locale.  I wonder if Bail will come out of Union dues or their lined Union pockets with their bloated salaries? This is what the Unions are after #OccupySocialism http://twitpic.com/7dfoez
