SEIU Protesters Admit to Being Paid $11 an Hour to Protest Romney Event

SEIU protesters outside a Mitt Romney campaign event in Ohio on Wednesday admitted on camera that they were paid $11 an hour to picket.

The video, posted to YouTube on Wednesday, showed protesters carrying a variety of signs including “SEIU for Obama 2012.” Some wore T-shirts in the labor union’s signature purple.

“We rode down here today,” one man with an “SEIU for Obama” sign said on camera. “They’re paying $11 an hour.”

One woman said the SEIU picked people up from around the community to come protest and that a lot of activists just “go door to door.” She said there were paid canvassers picketing as well as community activists.

Another man confirmed on camera he was with the SEIU and was being paid, though declined to say how much. A woman next to him said it was $11 an hour.

Other protesters the camera holder attempted to speak to were quickly ushered away.

An SEIU spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TheBlaze about the video.

It’s not the first time SEIU protesters have discussed being paid to picket: Back in March, a group of female protesters with SEIU gear in Washington, D.C. were overheard on camera talking about the money they had received.

    I love how the seiu “handlers” caught on and promptly put an end to all that freedom of speech the members were attempting to engage in. This is rich!

      That’s because most SEIU members are too stupid to realize that’s not something they want advertised. It’s the same as the Obama phones, a gimme for voting for Obama. Mark my words, if he wins, it will ALL go away. My handicapped son gets SSI, but I could live without it if I had to. I’m preparing already to do just that. I spend it on him mostly, and his special diet (he has celiac disease). All we’d have to do is cut out the gluten free snacks.

      The same SCIU who was instumental in all the riots in Greese, Italy, France, Germany, poland, England, and in ALL countries destroying Isreal and the rest of the free world. SCIU, the instigator in all the U.S.A.-STATES riots and distruction in many recent elections. SCIU, the “help” for The Muslim Broterhood to overthrow the U.S.A.-GOVERNMENT and our entire country + Cannada!!

    I hope they enjoy it while they can, because no matter who wins, the party is coming to a screeching halt soon. I just don’t know how this government can continue the spending path we’re on without people working.

      You are not kidding, that is exactly what he IS GOING to do, pay people to vote for him, and that is the only way he will get into the 40% range. Unfortunately, that means that we honest people have to ALL get out to vote or he will buy, steal, and lie his way into keeping his job.

      Did you see the lot of them. More upper class Barry voters. Many look like they stink. Most of them look like they are on the get rich quick food stamp program and are eating their way to prosperty. I wonder how the MSM would handle it if the Tea Party paid clean cut conservatives to protest a Barry rally. They’d be called racist, accused of using racist slurs and said to be trouble makers. It’s time to get some hardcore militia types and have them mingle in with these SEIU swine. Fight fire with fire.

That stuff the Justice Department has and will not give it to congress? Whatever happened to arresting that sorry bunch of thugs. They are not above the law. Make them give you the papers and allow America to see what is happening in writing.

      Maybe we should see SEIU’s books to make sure they paid taxes- income, state, medicare, and SS. Could be an issue for the irs. Nobody paid any taxes im sure.

      Let them prove that they did.
