SEIU Hit with RICO Suit
Same Union Sued by Yankee on Forced Unionization
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) was accused of using threats, sabotage, and intimidation to coerce a business to accept union demands.
The suit, filed under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute, also alleges that, "CT Gov. Dan Malloy's office attempted to orchestrate the sale of HealthBridge's Connecticut nursing homes by asking the company to contact an attorneyrepresenting a prospective buyer."
HealthBridge also said “defendants were able to persuade Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy and the Connecticut Attorney General’s office to threaten to take the assets of the Connecticut facilities managed by plaintiff HealthBridge under receivership. Read the full story at Raising Hale.
If all this sounds familiar, it should. The Yankee Institute sued SEIU alleging similar tactics in their forced unionization campaign in alliance with Gov. Malloy.

union thuggery at its best. reminds me of the Sopranos!
This amounts to suing the P.O.T.S. himself, which you can't do while he is in office.
They'll just have to wait until January 20th.
Just another example why I will not knowingly buy any products made by union labor or sold in union stores. To me every time a union member is laid off is reason for celebration!
If unions are so great, why must you be forced against your will to belong, and why when people are given the freedom of choice, do they flee unions in droves?
