About the Author
The author, Dave Bego, is president and CEO of EMS, an industry leader in the field of environmental workplace maintenance. He is uniquely qualified to write this book, as noted on CNN’s Lou Dobbs program in Spring 2009, due to his firsthand experience while waging war with Andy Stern and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) from late 2006 until the present.
Reviews
"I found "The Devil at my Doorstep" a useful and compelling
expose of what really happens in socalled
union
corporate campaigns. While the union leadership tries
to sell these campaigns as necessary because of some
alleged imbalance in our nation's labor laws, the reality
is that these campaigns are really about forcing employers,
through a variety of often unseemly tactics, to recognize
the unions regardless of the desire of the employees.
Mr. Bego's experience as documented in this review
highlights that truth in stark reality."
—Randel K. Johnson, Vice President , Labor, Immigration &
Employee Benefits, US Chamber of Commerce
“We like conversation, but we embrace confrontation.”
—Dennis Dingow, SEIU Executive Contracts Administrator
“Our priority should not be to make unionized employers noncompetitive by
raising the wages and benefits they offered their employees over the nonunion
company’s wages in the market. Instead, our priority should be to
contribute to our employers’ success by organizing all their competitors.”
—Andy Stern’s book, A Country At Work
