Former Obama Delegate and SEIU Local President Says U.S. Unions Would Benefit From Socialist Union's "Energy"

Mr. Javier Morillo-Alicea is President of SEIU Local 26 in Minnesota, and a former Obama Delegate, who recently gave a speech at Occupy Minnesota where he stated that the protest isn’t about class warfare, it’s about naming the problem:

Ironically, while Mr. Morillo-Alicea denies that the Occupy movements are about Class Warfare, just 3 days after his speech to Occupy Minnesota, he traveled thousands of miles to attend an event held by those who relish using Class Warfare as a political tactic and who’s political foundation is built upon it, the Communists/Socialists.

According to an article in the Communist Party USA News, People’s World, Mr. Morillo-Alicea traveled to the Third Annual Congress of the Transport and Allied Workers Union in South Africa:

“MINNEAPOLIS – As people mobilized in the streets of Minneapolis to demand that Wall Street be held accountable for creating the economic crisis, SEIU Local 26 President Javier Morillo-Alicea was thousands of miles away – hearing a similar message in Sun City, South Africa.

Morillo-Alicea represented the 2.1 million members of the Service Employees International Union at the Third National Congress of the South African Transport and Allied Workers’ Union, composed of 165,000 workers in several industries there, including security and cleaning.

He found workers in both the U.S. and South Africa discussing the same issues, such as rising income inequality, and grappling with similar challenges, particularly concerning their role in advancing a progressive agenda.”
