UHW Statement on Ray Marshall Trusteeship Recommendations
Date:1/22/2009

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement from United Healthcare Workers (UHW):

"The bottom line is that SEIU Trusteeship Hearing Officer Ray Marshall ruled against a trusteeship.

The transfer issue was never before Secretary Marshall.

In so making that recommendation, however, Secretary Marshall allows SEIU President Andy Stern to hold his decision over the head of local union members to enforce their compliance with an international executive board decision around long-term care that was not the subject of the trusteeship hearing.

This decision is not based on law, or even on the issue that was before the hearing officer, but rather is a political decision designed for political expediency. Marshall grossly exceeded his authority.

By structuring the decision in the way that he does, Marshall appears to allow his report to become a bludgeon to force UHW members into accepti
