Anyone know anything about the National Staff Organization?
http://www.nationalstaff.org/about.html



..snip..

The world’s largest union of union staff—that’s what the National Staff Organization has become. Through the efforts of literally hundreds of staff leaders, NSO has grown from a mere 35 members in a handful of states in 1969, to 4,823 (as of August, 2005) from 89 affiliates in 50 states and the District of Columbia. A major portion of that growth came with the decision by the 1978 NSO Representative Assembly to organize associate staff members.

Today, NSO has over 2,300 full-time and over 106 part-time associate staff members.

Here's what their home page says...

..snip..

Because the Wisconsin Education Association Council is breaching staff contracts and destroying any working relationship with its employees, NSO President Chuck Agerstrand is cautioning all NSO members against applying for staff vacancies.

“WEAC management is taking a page out of Gov. Walker’s playbook and making up new employment rules not in the USU contract. They should be looking to the 42 employees they laid off to fill vacancies before they go outside the state,” said Agerstrand.

..end..


Andrew Breitbart has picked this up and is trying to smear WEAC with it.


Anyone???
