SEIU Disavows Lipitor Promotion

The Service International Employees Union issued the following statement in response to the Health Beat Blog article, which was reprinted on this website.

Recently, a letter appearing to endorse a well-known pharmaceutical was circulated by the International Association of EMTS and Paramedics, an affiliate of the National Association of Government Employees (IAEP/SEIU).

SEIU does not endorse products. The letter was generated by a Local Union staff member unfamiliar with SEIU's policy against any product endorsement. Upon learning of the letter, the Local disavowed a relationship with the product in keeping with the union's policy.

Glad to hear it.
