		Stokes gave Rathke a copy of the summary of differences between the proposals, and Rathke, as was his avowed practice on perceiving inaccuracies in Re- spondent's documents, questioned Stokes concerning the heading of the memorandum, which indicated that Re- spondent's ninth proposal was still withdrawn.
		Rathke testified that Stokes stated that the parties were in total agreement and asked Rathke to draft the final contract as a "favor," Rathke's version is controverted by the denials of Stokes and Warren, as well as Stokes' contemporaneous reports of the conversation to Orr and Kanwit.
		Rathke's assertion that Orr's review was to be merely pro forma is not supported by the testimonies of either Rathke or Warren concerning the actual content of their conversatons, but rather appears to represent Rathke's post hoc interpretation of Warren's remarks.

	HungryBlues: White Labor Leader Wade Rathke Attacks Black-Led CLU/PHF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Wade Rathke is a seasoned organizer who helped found ACORN and SEIU Local 100 in the 1970s.
		It is therefore all the more disturbing to see Rathke, a key player in building an organization that "pioneered multi- racial and multi-issue organizing," make such an concerted and destructive attack on Community Labor United and its Black leader Curtis Muhammad.
		The article Rathke alludes to certainly shows Klein to have done her homework about community organizations, political leaders, and business interests in NOLA.

	Missing the point on Katrina and arrogance \| TPMCafe
		For example, Rathke is right that a left-wing organization that claims to speak for the masses ought to have a mass base.
		Rathke's piece is just an extreme version of a deeper problem that will not be resolved simply through "diversity trainings" or even increasing the numbers of people of color in various structures.
		I agree that the Wade Rothke piece, even if we were to assume that its assessment of the person attacked as merely an incompetent organizer without a base were accurate (I would have no way of making this call) was grossly inappropriate.

	::New Orleans Living Wage Victory:: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Voters on Saturday made New Orleans the first city in the nation to impose an across-the-board minimum wage $1 higher than the federal rate, a decision hailed as a victory for workers at the bottom of the pay scale but one that is certain to be challenged in court.
		A survey commissioned by proponents of the wage increase estimates that 47,050 jobs in New Orleans would receive mandated wage increases if the ordinance took effect, and that an additional 27,314 would receive increases through ripple effects as the pay scale for all workers was raised.
		Rathke said he hoped business groups would honor the will of the people.

	Acorn Strike Enters Sixth Week
		The IWW members on strike at the Washington ACORN office have entered the sixth week of the strike, and Wade Rathke, ACORN chief Organizer and Doug Bloch the local boss, are showing weakness in the face of the continued pressure from the workers and the community.
		There have also been reports that Rathke is attempting to convince the Labor Board that the strike is “illegal”; last we checked it is still legal to go on strike, but perhaps Rathke is in on something about the new Bush administration that the rest of us have yet to find out.
		Rathke also called the IWW office in the Bay Area, leaving an angry rant about the strike in Seattle, (This rant is available via the web at http//bari.iww.org, for your listening pleasure), proving that he hasn’t been capable thus far of hiding behind the local managers in his union busting campaign.

		The association collects small dues ($5 a month) and works for employees in such matters as workers comp, but does not yet attempt to be a bargaining agent, which Wal-Mart won't abide.
		Rathke said, would seek to "aggressively engage the company on their rights and how they are treated."

		Wade says that Orell (an SEIU Local 100 director and, basically, the property manager of Houston’s ACORN operations) should be receiving all these emails, “so if there’s a question about who is [going to resolve the property problems], it’s Orell.” Problem addressed, responsibility assigned.
		Another example: On 9 April 2003 I wrote to Wade Rathke and Orell Fitzsimmons, “This [the city’s threats, ticketing and temporary closure of the office] is not a surprise, even though there is no zoning, the City of Houston requires you to have a Certificate of Occupancy to operate a business.
		And according to the public records, this property was purchased and remains classified as a residential property.” Rathke responded, “Please talk to Orell.

		He sent Wade Rathke, his young and highly talented organizer, to Little Rock, Arkansas to apply his creativity to the problem.
		But, because Wiley, Rathke and the NWRO took the cause of economic justice seriously and studied and respected the traditions of social justice movements in American history, they saw possibilities and opportunities where others did not.
		When Rathke arrived in Little Rock in 1970, he began a campaign to help welfare recipients attain their basic needs - clothing and furniture.

	Katrina, the union movement and organized arrogance \| TPMCafe
		Does Wade Rathke believe that he has the right to appoint and anoint the leadership of fl led organizations and coalitions the way that ACORN and SEIU choose their own leadership?
		Statements such as Wade Rathke's only diminish him and his organization because they are unprincipled and reflect character decay.
		Rathke had very little to do with it, and I think wasn't even on the Executive Council when it voted to split.

		We charge that Wade Rathke, ACORN CEO, has used the name of ACORN as a cover for his own quest for personal and political power.
		We charge that ACORN is devoid of any credibility, so long as their attacks on human rights and the union continues, and that their leadership constitutes a cult that is disconnected from the needs of their own workers.

	Union Vote Set for Next Week
		But Rathke said a union would be able to negotiate a wide range of policies on promotions, step increases, performance evaluations, job classifications, protections during privatization and disciplinary procedures.
		In the short time left before the vote, Rathke said he expects a "modest" campaign, in part because about 1500 workers already have signed cards supporting the union, although some of them are supervisors who cannot vote and would not be in the union.
		The mayor's third-term campaign is scheduled to receive the AFL-CIO's endorsement today, but Rathke said that's not connected to his cooperation and scheduling of the union vote.
