Labor and community activists rallied for Puerto Rican nationalist Oscar Lópaz Rivera on May 29, 2015 in San Francisco. He has been in prison for over 34 years and activists and the AFL-CIO is demanding he be released. The US instituted "Operation Bootstrap" which was the first free trade zone by the US to turn Puerto Rico into a cheap non-union labor center for US multi-nationals.
At the same time the SEIU have sought to support pro-privatization locals in Puerto Rico and under Andy Stern sought to split the teacher's union.
