18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ Days before national SEIUofficials are expected to launch a hostile takeover of United HealthcareWorkers (UHW), an off-duty police officer apparently hired as a privateinvestigator aggressively photographed members of the local union andassaulted a UHW staff member."Before I even saw the man watching us I could tell something was wrong," saidAndrea Carol, a UHW member and food service worker at Children's Hospital inOakland. "I have been in that parking lot so many times as a member of UHW andit just felt different. I know they are itching to take over ourunion, but we have the right to meet in our own union office and come and gowithout feeling watched and spied on." At 6:00AM Saturday, staff and members of United Healthcare Workers (UHW) firstnoticed suspicious activity outside UHW's Oakland office. Around 7:00AM, staff and members confronted suspicious men outside the UnitedHealthcare Workers office, near Broadway on Thomas L. Berkeley Way in Oakland.When UHW staff asked the men what they were doing, they claimed it was nothingto do with the union and that it was no one's business who they were.Members coming into the office began complaining to staff that they were beingwatched and photographed outside.

UHW staff again confronted the men and askedthem to stop photographing because it was making members uncomfortable. Themen refused, so UHW staff called the police.While waiting for police to arrive, the surveillance got more aggressive, witha man between the parking lot and the back entrance getting closer and closerto members while photographing them."I felt really intimidated," said Anita Cook, UHW shop steward for 9 years anda unit clerk at Kindred Hospital in San Leandro. "It was scary to know therewas that kind of hostility against us when we have been doing everything theway we're supposed to. What I saw today, I don't feel that we members of thisunion deserve that kind of treatment. It was intimidating and it washumiliating."Oakland police arrived, but after speaking with the man the police simply leftthe scene.Within minutes, the man began driving back and forth in front of the buildingand across UHW's back driveway, constantly taking photographs of the buildingand of members coming and going.
