SEIU Suffers Setback After Lawmakers Shelve Bill
California lawmakers shelved a bill this month that "would have restricted state pension fund allocations to sovereign wealth-backed private equity firms," according to a Wall Street Journal editorial. It states that Andy Stern, head of the Service Employees International Union, "figured that by obscuring his real motives with lofty human rights concerns, the bill would surely pass the ultraliberal state Assembly."
