Labor's Civil War in California: The NUHW Healthcare Workers' Rebellion

Labor's Civil War in California documents how the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) became corrupted as its leaders began siding with "corporate and neo-liberal interests from both major political parties". It looks at this corruption and how this led to the conflict between SEIU and United Healthcare Workers-West (UHW) in 2007, when UHW rejected SEIU's corrupted values. SEUI retaliated by taking control of all of UHW's union activities, and in response, UHW remade itself into the National Union of Healthcare Workers. Winslow delves into the significance of these battles, and looks critically at labor and the different ways it can be managed.
