Ben Affleck's A Union Man...

Berry interesting...

Verbatim from the Boston Business Journal here:

SEIU members in Boston have "enlisted" actor (and Cambridge native) Ben Affleck, who will meet with hospital workers and Mayor Menino to endorse unionization efforts by the Local 1199.

"SEIU members in Boston support a resolution that the Boston City Council will consider on Tuesday asking hospital CEOs to sign pledges that they won't "intimidate" hospital staff trying to form unions or spend patient care money in campaigns against secret ballot elections. "


"Hospitals say the measure is one-sided and unnecessary. They say fair elections are already ensured through a process established by the National Labor Relations Board that allows both sides to make their cases. "
