Remember that guy Danny Fetonte that was removed from the DSA national committee because he was an official of the cop union? Well, that wasn't his only flaw. From the same chapter in John Levin's book on PL and the WSA that I posted earlier:
She was an extraordinary organizer. Her experience in the Left was an excellent training ground, and she had a gift for the work. In 2000, Lynn, suffering from severe PTSD caused by years of abuse by her boss, Danny Fetonte, left CWA with full disability and a large settlement. He was director of TSEU and often took her aside and yelled and screamed at her, finding fault with even the successful things she did. He was furious if she acted on things that weren't his idea. Even when the campaign was going well, he berated her over the numbers of members signed by her organizers. He and Lynn's male counterpart in the union ganged up against her and thwarted her ideas. The legislative work done by her and one of her organizers had to be kept secret because Danny disagreed with it. Lynn fought every day for her position as a woman in a male-dominated workplace, just as she had fought to be heard by the male chauvinists in the movement. After she left CWA she continued to have flashbacks and relive her fights with Danny. She would become agitated and shaky. He had destroyed a strong woman's self-confidence. Her mental and physical health continued to decline, and she died in November of 2015 in Kansas City, where we lived.
