Just Win, Baby!

CalPERS board seat: SEIU seeks three in a row

Hackett’s backers include the biggest state worker union, SEIU, Local 1000, representing about 70,000 state workers, and the California School Employees Association, the non-teaching school workers who are a third of CalPERS members.

Jelincic’s endorsements include two major retiree groups, California State Employees Association retirees and Retired Public Employees Association, and a number of smaller state unions representing firefighters, supervisors, scientists and engineers.

Speaking as a member of one of those ’smaller’ unions, I hope Cathy wins.
