Open letter to Andy Stern
On May 1 2008, Michael Albert, co-founder of South End Press and Z Magazine signed an open letter to SEIU president Andy Stern in protest at SEIU moves force its local United Healthcare Workers into trusteeship.
- We are writing to express our deep concern about SEIU's threatened trusteeship over its third largest local, United Healthcare Workers (UHW). We believe that there must always be room within organized
labor for legitimate and principled dissent, if our movement is to survive and grow.
- Putting UHW under trusteeship would send a very troubling message and be viewed, by many, as a sign that internal democracy is not valued or tolerated within SEIU. In our view, this would have negative
consequences for the workers directly affected, the SEIU itself, and the labor movement as a whole. We strongly urge you to avoid such a tragedy.

Albert is listed as an endorser of the Campaign for Peace and Democracy, as of March 15, 2010.[3]
