Not only has Alcoff been a vocal critic of Israel, but he was also joined in his anti-Israel activism\u200d by his wife Linda\u200b and their son Jose, a known member of\u200d the violent Antifa movement.\u200d The <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> \u2063has uncovered this disturbing connection.<\/p>\n<p>Alcoff, who has led high-profile labor negotiations in Chicago and Washington, D.C., has been using his social media platforms \u200bto denounce\u2062 Israel since the Hamas massacre on October 7. During a pro-Palestinian march on October 28, Alcoff&#8217;s wife Linda wore a \u2062sticker that read, \u200c&#8221;Zionist donors and trustees,\u2064 hands off our universities.&#8221; Meanwhile, their son Jose, a self-proclaimed communist and Antifa leader, has a history of advocating for\u200b the \u2063violent overthrow \u2063of the \u200dgovernment and was even charged\u2062 with felony assault in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Disturbingly, the SEIU has shown solidarity with \u2063Hamas in the aftermath of\u2063 the October 7 attacks, as reported by the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em>. Even \u2063an\u200d SEIU affiliate, Starbucks Workers United, expressed support for Palestine in a now<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gina-carano-dropped-by-talent-agency-after-star-axed-from-disney-show-over-social-media-post\/\" title=\"Gina Carano Dropped By Talent Agency After Star Axed From Disney Show Over Social Media Post\">-deleted social media post<\/a>. The \u2064union&#8217;s anti-Israel\u200b rhetoric has \u200cdrawn criticism, but \u2063the SEIU has remained silent on\u2062 Larry Alcoff&#8217;s involvement.<\/p>\n<p>Alcoff&#8217;s anti-Israel activism extends beyond social media. He has urged his followers to donate to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who shares his views on Israel. He has also criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for their support of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his \u2062controversial activities, Alcoff is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blm-co-founder-mansion-enthusiast-patrisse-cullors-brother-is-among-blms-highest-paid-employees\/\" title=\"BLM Co-Founder\/Mansion Enthusiast Patrisse Cullors\u2019 Brother Is Among BLM\u2019s Highest Paid Employees\">highest-paid employees<\/a> at the SEIU&#8217;s\u2062 national office, earning a total of $171,000 in 2022. He is closely aligned with SEIU International president Mary Kay Henry, who appointed him as deputy trustee of SEIU Healthcare Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>Larry Alcoff&#8217;s wife Linda, a philosophy professor at Hunter\u2064 College, has also \u2064shown support for her\u200b husband&#8217;s radicalism. In \u200da book from 2006, she praised him for teaching \u2063valuable lessons on class struggle and identity. Linda Alcoff \u2063has even fondly reminisced about her sons&#8217; radical\u2062 tendencies, sharing a \u2063now-deleted Facebook post where she mentioned their Christmas requests for items like \u200dduct tape, gas masks,\u200d and spray paint.<\/p>\n<p>Jose Alcoff, known as &#8220;King Communist,&#8221; has been an active advocate for the overthrow of\u2064 the \u2064federal government and capitalism. \u200dHe gained prominence \u2063during the Occupy Wall Street protests and later became \u200ca leader in the Antifa movement in Washington,\u2064 D.C. His\u2063 extremist views and actions have raised serious concerns.<\/p>\n<p>It \u2062is alarming that individuals with such radical\u200c affiliations are involved in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ukraine-russian-ceasefire-talks-fail-russian-ambassador-lavrov-dismisses-hospital-bombing\/\" title=\"Ukraine-Russian Ceasefire Talks Fail \u2013 Russian Ambassador Lavrov Dismisses Hospital Bombing\">high-level negotiations<\/a> within the SEIU. While the\u2064 union has condemned the terrorist attack by Hamas, it has\u200c failed to address Larry Alcoff&#8217;s anti-Israel activism. The SEIU and \u200dthe Alcoff family have declined to \u2062comment on these revelations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How\u2062 does the SEIU address concerns regarding\u2063 Alcoff&#8217;s anti-Israel sentiments \u200band the potential impact\u200c on his role as a \u2063negotiator?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200bY the Washington \u2063Free\u200c Beacon. This raises concerns\u200b about the SEIU&#8217;s stance on Israel and whether Alcoff&#8217;s anti-Israel sentiments infiltrate\u2062 his \u200dwork \u2063as a negotiator \u2062for the union.\u2063\u2063<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b relationship between Alcoff \u200dand \u2063his family&#8217;s radical activism should raise red flags for anyone involved with the SEIU. It is crucial to question whether Alcoff&#8217;s \u200cpersonal beliefs and his family&#8217;s association with violent\u200d movements like\u2062 Antifa could impact his\u2064 ability\u2063 to\u200c negotiate fairly and effectively on behalf\u2064 of the union.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062role of a negotiator \u200dis to find common ground and seek resolutions that benefit\u200b all parties involved.\u2063 However, Alcoff&#8217;s\u2063 anti-Israel agenda and his family&#8217;s affiliation with Antifa\u2062 demonstrate a clear \u2063bias that could hinder his impartiality. It is unfair \u200bto the SEIU and\u2063 its\u2062 members\u200b if Alcoff&#8217;s personal\u2064 beliefs \u200cinterfere with \u200chis\u200d duty as a negotiator.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it\u200d is concerning that the \u200dSEIU has displayed solidarity with Hamas. Hamas is recognized\u200c as a terrorist organization\u2062 by numerous countries, including the United States. Supporting a group that advocates for violence and promotes terrorism raises serious questions about the \u200dSEIU&#8217;s priorities and values.<\/p>\n<p>While individuals \u2064have the right\u2063 to hold\u2062 their own beliefs and engage in peaceful protests, it\u200b becomes problematic\u2062 when these beliefs\u200d interfere with professional duties. A negotiator should prioritize the interests and \u200dwell-being of their constituents, rather than pushing their\u200c personal agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The SEIU should take immediate action to address\u200b this issue. It is\u2064 essential for the union to thoroughly\u200c investigate Alcoff&#8217;s conduct and determine whether there is any bias in his negotiations. If any evidence of \u2064biased\u2064 behavior is found, the SEIU\u200b must \u2064take appropriate\u200d measures to ensure that its members&#8217; interests are adequately represented.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the\u200d SEIU should re-evaluate its stance on \u2063Israel and reaffirm its commitment \u2064to fair \u2063and impartial negotiations. The\u2062 union should make it clear \u200dthat personal beliefs, especially those associated with violent and extremist movements, have no place in the negotiation process.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the SEIU&#8217;s reputation and the\u200d well-being of its members \u200dare at stake. It is imperative for the union to uphold \u2064the principles of fairness and \u2062impartiality, and to address\u2064 any \u2064concerns raised by Alcoff&#8217;s radical\u200d family affair. Only by \u2063taking swift and \u200ddecisive action can the SEIU \u200bregain \u2064the trust and \u200cconfidence \u200cof its members\u2064 and \u2063the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Larry Alcoff, a union leader, was accompanied by his wife Linda and their son Jose, an Antifa member charged with felony assault in 2019.
