Leaked internal SEIU document describes plans to organize fast food workers in Los Angeles County.

The right wing blogosphere has a leaked or stolen memo from SEIU outlining plans to organize the fast food industry in Los Angeles.

It was originally posted on

A blog looking at the conflict between SEIU and NUHW (a breakaway union formed from the old UHW).

Here's the plan:
