Beef Between SEIU and Pro-Vote

Filed Monday, September 24, 2007 at 12:00 PM

There is a growing rift between two of the more active organizations in Missouri Democratic politics.

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is charging the liberal political action group Missouri Pro-Vote with “union-busting.” Meanwhile, Pro-Vote says SEIU Local 2000 and the Brotherhood of Union Support (BUSS) are using intimidation and harassment to force its five St. Louis employees to join the union.

SEIU has filed a formal complaint with the National Labor Relations Board. Pro-Vote has responded by kicking SEIU off its steering committee.
