  Another piece that seems to be offering good analysis of this situation as it is unfolding and of the difference between SEIU and Unite Here can be found at: http://socialistworker.org/2009/07/02/unite-here-pushes-back Also see: http://www.losangeleschronicle.com/articles/view/108247 I think these articles add to Moberg's analysis. The Daily Kos has also issued some interesting responses to what has transpired. Although these pieces seem to analyze the information in articles already listed: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/7/1/748992/-The-American-Labor-Movt.-vs.-Andy-Stern http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/7/1/748997/-NUHW:-Labor-speaks-with-one-voice

  If you have been keeping up with the coverage of Unite Here's convention, you will note that most of the labor movement has unequivocally come down on the side of Unite Here. Even American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten has expressed support for Unite Here. Judged by their peers, it looks like both Andy Stern and Bruce Raynor are perceived as threats to the labor movement.
