Exclusive: Following Court's ruling, campaign of door-to-door canvasses, ads, & workplace visits starts today, aiming to drain West Coast unions of 127,000 members in a year bloomberg.com/news/articles/… Internal docs describe strategy of "insurgency" to "demonize" union among workers
1st round of targets are the CA Teachers Association, CA Federation of Teachers, AFSCME CA, SEIU 1000, Professional Engineers in CA's Government, CA Correctional Peace Officers, SEIU 503, Oregon Education Association, Oregon AFSCME, WA Education Association, WFSE, & Teamsters 117
