What SEIU Is Saying About Us

In 12 months, we’ve become the unions’ most formidable opponent.

How do we know? Here is just a sampling of what SEIU is saying about the Freedom Foundation.

“We are angry, frustrated and in complete disbelief that the Freedom Foundation is attempting to sink all the gains we’ve fought for and won.”

– Email From SEIU to Their Members

“If (the Freedom Foundation) can step on the air hose of money to SEIU by getting individual providers to stop paying dues, (they) are preventing SEIU from financially supporting Democratic candidates for governor and $15-an-hour minimum wage campaigns…”

– Dmitri Iglitzin (SEIU 775 Attorney)

Without question, we’ve made an enormous difference in this state during the past 12 months, starting out 2014 as barely a blip on the unions’ radar and ending it as the recognized go-to organization in the battle to curb government union excesses.
