Thanks Digby, and thanks to Peck for "exposing" the union for firing him.
According to the founder of ACORN he has not been fired. I'm sure you wouldn't doubt the founder of ACORN would you, they push for taxing the nation into the stoneage?
http://chieforganizer.org/2011/03/25/stephen-lerner-the-banks-and-the-right-wing-scare-machine/ Without talking to Stephen there are some simple facts that get in the way of this fantasy, no matter how pleasing it is to contemplate:
Lerner has not been “fired” by SEIU as they report. He was placed on paid leave last fall to think through his contribution to the union, but was certainly present at the recent international executive board meeting. He’s in a curious position no doubt, but it’s something like being an “injured reserve” in the NFL and waiting for the team to find a place to bring him back on the roster.
Now cry away buddy. It's what you do best.
