(AP) The National Labor Relations Board says Kaiser workers in
California voted 58.4 percent to 40.6 percent in favor of the
1.9-million-member SEIU over the National Union of Healthcare
Workers.
The vote was a replay of an election from nearly three years
ago. But the previous result - which SEIU also won - was thrown out
after federal officials said SEIU committed violations.
Both unions have spent millions battling over about 45,000
Kaiser workers. It was the largest union election since the
1940s.
