...America’s most Latino-friendly-union has been romancing San Juan, [Puerto Rico], all week long...[T]he 1.7 million member Service Employees International Union (SEIU) continued its own PR offensive, laying the groundwork for an upcoming vote among 40,000 teachers. In that election, SEIU seeks to replace a militant independent federation as Puerto Rico’s largest labor organization...[Puerto Rican Governor Anibel Acevedo-Vila] remains a key ally in the union’s on-going campaign to destroy, with government help, the Federacion de Maestros de Puerto Rico (FMPR).

In a move reminiscent of a U.S. Marine invasion of a foreign country, the FBI descended in droves on Puerto Rico on February 10.

Hundreds of people packed the sidewalk at Federal Plaza Monday, rallying against the FBI intervention and assassination in Puerto Rico of respected Nationalist Filiberto Ojeda Rios.
