    The California State Employees Association is wracked by a bitter dispute over whether to disaffiliate from the Service Employees International Union. The statewide leadership of the CSEA, dissatisfied with the new activist trends in the SEIU, wants to get out. But the leaders of the CSEA’s largest section, its Civil Service Division, who support a more militant union program, are determined to stay in the SEIU. An explosive outcome seems certain.

  • On the eve of the SEIU convention.

    For over a year, the line pursued by Andy Stern, SEIU president and supported with near unanimity by the union's top leadership, has come under attack by Sal Rosselli, president of the 140,000-member United Healthcare Workers-West (UHW-W). The dispute, openly or by implication, will dominate the union's quadrennial convention which begins in Puerto Rico on June 1.
