VIDEO: Unions Protest Pro-Vote Dinner
Filed Tuesday, October 16, 2007 at 12:00 PM
We’re a little late posting this video, shot Saturday outside the America’s Convention Center in downtown St. Louis.
Members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the Brotherhood of Union Support Staff (BUSS) picketed outside the convention center, where the Missouri Progressive Vote Coalition (Pro-Vote) was holding its 12th Annual Progressive Awards Dinner.
SEIU has filed a formal complaint against Pro-Vote with the National Labor Relations Board charging the organization with “union-busting” and “constructively firing” workers who tried to organize.
According to union members, the United Auto Workers, which was scheduled to receive an award from Pro-Vote for “Outstanding Labor Union” refused to cross the SEIU/BUSS picket line and boycotted the awards dinner.
