Andy Stern Says SEIU Later

Hmmm

Service Employees International Union President Andrew Stern, one of America’s most prominent labor leaders, is set to resign, according to a member of the union’s board and another SEIU official.


The President of an SEIU local based in Seattle, Diane Sosne, broke the news to her staffers at 11:35 this morning, local time.


“Last night I received confirmation that Andy Stern is resigning as President of SEIU. He has not yet made a public announcement; we will share the details as we become aware of them,” Sosne wrote in an email obtained by POLITICO.


Sosne offered no explanation for the move, but another SEIU official speculated that Stern had finally tired of the draining job.


“Health care getting done is a good culmination,” the official said.

A lot of conservative bloggers are smelling something fishy. This guy bragged about being the more powerful person in D.C. and he just suddenly up and quits?

Stay tuned.
