SEIU-UHW Union Execs Slammed in Sexual Harassment Suit

Former Executive hit with a sexual harassment suit from form employee, Mindy Sturge.

California’s SEIU-UHW, a 40,000 member mega-local of the Service Employees International Union, has been hit with a lawsuit (in full below) by a former staffer who alleges that the union and a former executive engaged in “discrimination, battery, harassment, defamation, and gender violence,” according to a blog critical of SEIU leadership.

The main offender in the suit, former SEIU-UHW executive Marcus Hatcher was reportedly fired last year over alleged sexual misconduct.
When Hatcher was fired, the SEIU also reportedly fired staffer Mindy Sturge, the plaintiff in the lawsuit against SEIU-UHW.

Sturge makes a number of claims in her suit which, if proven true, could be very damaging and costly to the SEIU’s reputation in California.

Among the charges leveled against the union, Sturge claims that that Hatcher physically battered her during a work meeting on September 28, 2017 which caused her to suffer “a head injury and bruising for which she sought medical attention.”
