Reformer? Jane Mcalevey?? ha ha ha I agree with davidhp--if that's the definition of reform then we're all in big trouble! She sure has alot of people fooled but her problem was she couldn't fool everyone. Mcalevey is nothing more than an egotistical, self proclaimed champion of workers...it's a lie like everything else she says and does. I do admit she's pretty slick in pointing the finger at everyone else as the reason for the union's problems and even better at talking people into doing the dirty work for her. She's a coward using anyone and everyone she can to get what she wants. Reform my behind! She says she came here and needed to be aggressive to pull us out of mediocricy--well I'll take mediocracy over corruption, deception and division any old day. More importantly, I wonder if Hedderman knew that the International planned on keeping Mcalevey on as a consultant after the dual resignation...I highly doubt it-Hedderman may have had some faults but she always fought for the workers and that was her downfall in the big plans of SEIU. I've heard it said from people in SEIU that filing grievances on unjust boss behavior isn't cost effective and people who get into trouble at work deserve what they get. No thanks SEIU your behind the scenes backdoor deal to keep Mcalevey on as a consultant after the agreement of a dual resignation says more than you know.....beware members the back door deals are a norm for this union and the members will pay the cost in the end. Don't worry about Hamel, she'll be used as a pawn and won't be able to control any decisions but that's ok because she fell for the Mcalevey message and now she'll be expected to go along with the "program"--for the good of all--I'm just confused on who it's good for, certainly not the members. Just wait, now the new and improved SEIU Nevada will come with messages of good tidings and fall all over the workers trying to "win" them back...don't be fooled. The minute drop month is over or the CNA vote is over, you'll be right back to the same garbage...it just is who they are and that's why SEIU still wants her input-she's one of them. It's not been about workers, it's been about organizing for more money in D.C.; afterall, they're still paying the reformer from your dues ....not fooling me here. Can't blame Hedderman,since I think she did this with the best of intentions and that's at least ridding the union of the person who brought the toxin to Vegas; unfortunately D.C. leaders are still the same. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE HERE FOLKS.
