Oh, I realize there’s not going to be an outbreak of sweet
reasonableness in this land we love - which is why SEIU’s position is
so damnably fucked up. If organized labor’s not doing the heavy
lifting, but instead pushing for some abominable sellout plan, we’re
doomed. Which is tragic, because it’s not impossible that s-p could
be achieved.
