Tell Limbaugh and Beck This is A Union Member



Sgt. Kimberly Munley


Sgt. Kimberly Munley is a hero, she did her job with no hesitation and risked her life to stop a massacre.
Thirteen Dead, thirty wounded at Fort Hood, Texas, on Nov. 5.

She walked into the scene and did her best, she shot the alleged assailant, Maj. Nidal Hasan, four times, and was shot in return. She is recovering from her wound and is in stable condition.

Her Union, AFGE, has a site where you can send your best wishes to Sgt. Munley. Just click here and send a Union sister a message. All messages will be collected and AFGE will deliver the messages to Munley on Friday, Nov. 20.

Munley, 34, is a member of AFGE Local 1920 and the mother of a three-year-old. She and her partner were the first to arrive at the Scene of the massacre, where Hasan allegedly opened fire.

AFGE President John Gage said Munley “acted with great heroism.”

Lt. Gen. Bob Cone, commanding general at Fort Hood, told CNN that Munley’s actions stopped Hasan cold and saved lives.

He said Munley is a “trained, active first responder” who acted quickly after she “just happened to encounter the gunman.”
Editorial comment: Officer Munley is one of ours. I wonder how Glen Beck feels about this Union member?

No pay raise in a year, management wants to make that four years.A three year contract with no raises is management's idea of a contract offer. (I wonder if they will guarantee their rates for residents for three years?)

The workers have the support of the town and on Monday, they picketed.

After pressure from workers, religious leaders, and the local labor council SEIU agrees to elections.


Santa Rosa, Calif.—Six months after trying to have Union elections the employees at Santa Rosa Memorial hospital get to choose between rival NUHW and SEIU-UHW or to have no Union.


The employees have been trying to form a union with the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW). The National Labor Relations Board today scheduled the union election for Dec. 17 and 18.
SEIU has spent a great time and effort resulting in delays to this election, claiming generally that the election would be unfair to the employees.
