The Service Employees International Union plans to file a motion to dismiss the temporary restraining order filed last week by the California Nurses Association against the organization and its president, Andy Stern, for harassment. The restraining order was issued under a California provision intended to protect “employees subject to violence or threats of violence at the workplace.” A lawyer representing the union predicted a quick dismissal of the order, which had been done without giving the union a chance to respond. “Under no circumstances have SEIU members or staff harassed CNA members or leadership,” Stern stated. “It’s shameful that the CNA is continuing to spread misinformation and distorting reality to divert focus from the real issues,the anti-union tactics that sabotaged the opportunity for more than 8,000 nurses and other hospital workers in Ohio to freely choose whether to form a union with SEIU.”
