Last week, Bank of America's CEO, Ken Lewis, was ousted by the company's shareholders from his position as chairman of the board. At the same time, nearly 100,000 of you signed "taxpayer proxy cards" calling for Lewis' removal as CEO.
The outcome of the shareholder meeting was a positive first step towards reform, but there's plenty more for the new Bank of America chairman, Dr. Walter Massey, to take care of.
This morning, SEIU's Secretary-Treasurer, Anna Burger, sent out an email to many of you, asking you to add your name to a letter that she's sending to Dr. Massey, outlining five key principles of reform:
- Reject the failed banking policies of the past by firing CEO Ken Lewis
- Commit to real financial reform
- Stop consumer abuses and predatory lending practices that hurt communities
- Provide bank workers access to affordable healthcare
- Stop lobbying against pro-worker legislation like the Employee Free Choice Act to ensure bank workers have a voice on the job to protect consumers.
Here's a copy of the letter:Letter to Chairman Massey

SEIU should get out of the politics and stop wasting the members' money! They should mind their own business and let everything else take care of itself...SEIU is not God, and they should stop trying to play that part.
