SEIU Puts Michigan Health Care Affiliate in Trusteeship, Probes Possible Fraud

Financial malpractice rarely goes out of season among a number of health care affiliates of the Service Employees International Union. On February 14, SEIU President Mary Kay Henry placed SEIU Healthcare Michigan under emergency trusteeship following allegations by an unnamed internal whistleblower that two of its top officials had abused the Detroit-based union’s loan and vacation policies.

While no dollar figure on the missing funds is available, evidence suggests it is substantial. The union, as it was, had been bleeding membership following enactment by the Michigan legislature of Right to Work legislation several years ago.
