Hey Hey, goodbye!

I need some tissues to wipe away the tears. Good riddance Andy Stern, you filthy POS! Michelle Malkin also posted the transcript of the quitter’s message. For those of you who can’t stomach Stern’s voice or face, you can read that instead.

There’s a time to learn, a time to lead, and then there’s a time to leave.

And shortly, it will be my time to retire… and end my SEIU journey.

I just recorded a video sharing my thanks and appreciation that I’d love for you to watch.

My time at SEIU has always been about the members.

Members like Martina Casey, one of 150,000 child care providers who found a voice at SEIU.

Rosa Ayala, an immigrant janitor, and others around the country helped found SEIU’s Justice for Janitors campaign.

Verdia Daniels, a minimum wage home care worker, who for ten years organized 74,000 co-workers and gave birth to a movement now 400,000 home care workers strong.

Together, we’ve organized over 1.2 million new members into our SEIU family since I became president in 1996. SEIU is now the largest union in North America and fastest growing worldwide.

We founded Americans for Health Care in 2002 and realized our goal when historic health care legislation passed earlier this year.

We elected Barack Obama – a great president – and grew to be the largest grassroots political army fighting for change in America.

And the union will continue to fight for immigration, financial and labor law reform long after I am gone.

…Thank you – my union family – who have shown me how to lead and stand up for change.

I love you all,

Andy
