CSUEU President Catherine Hutchinson's baffling union-busting bullshit
from The Drain · host The Drain
Last week, journalist/attorney Matt Breunig published a piece about a union president's bizarre decision to engage in union-busting--forcing the California State University Employees Union (SEIU Local 2579) to waste tens of thousands of dollars of labor movement money in a tiff with rightly annoyed attorneys at UAW Local 2350. All because CSUEU President Catherine Hutchinson refuses to respect her own staff's collective bargaining agreement. Today, we're joined by UAW Local 2350 President Nick Gleichman to parse out the baffling saga that will inexorably result in an embarrassing loss for Hutchinson and, in all likelihood, a frustrating waste of CSUEU and UAW union members' dues. We also discuss the battle's implications for the greater American labor movement. Don't forget to like, rate and subscribe to The Drain on your favorite podcast platforms. Questions? Comments?
