The SEIU’s chickens are coming home to roost.
While union president Mary Kay Henry was addressing the group’s convention, several organizers disrupted her speech to demand $15 an hour — one of the items the union has been demanding of fast food restaurants and other lower wage employers.
Henry attempted to speak over the chanters, but they only got louder and she finally quit.
Union organizers then began sparring with each other, with some trying to rip the homemade signs — which read “$15 minimum wage and union rights for all means FF15 organizers too!” — out of the hands of their brothers and sisters.
It was chaos on the stage as organizers ran around and shouted into the microphone.
“Are you guys serious right now? Are you gonna do this right now?” one of the unionists against $15 hour minimum wage for organizers said.
She then launched into a tirade against the other organizers.
“Do you know what it’s like to get paid $500 every two weeks? Do you guys know what that is?” she shouted as they continued to chant.
“You guys get paid enough!” she yelled.
