This same editor has made several changes over a one hour period on May 6th to several articles which largely amount to removing information that reflects badly on SEIU (see Andy Stern and its talk page for examples.) In particular in this article removing "In August 2008, the international union announced plans for a hearing to consider putting control of UHW West in the hands of a trustee, replacing locally elected officials" perhaps because it indicates that the UHW-W officials were locally elected and replaced by non-elected officials? Changed "the unions top elected leadership were dismissed during a takeover by SEIU" to remove "during a takeover by SEIU". Mentioning that it was part of the takeover is pertinent in that an employee or elected official who is dismissed as part of a takeover is different from one that was simply dismissed. Also changed "took over the Oakland based" with "trusteed" which by using jargon obfuscates the story to readers that are seeking encyclopedic knowledge. Would perhaps be OK if the term trusteed was defined, but then this user deleted that too when he removed the part about replacing the locally elected officials.
