How do political machines get oiled, financed? This is very disturbing and only one more reason to get out the vote in this upcoming election season! - Watch the video - It says it all!
Did you know that 40,000 "home health care worker" Union members, get NO unions benefits, pay dues of $30.00/mo. or $6 Million/yr., that funnels directly to the SEIU, the Service Employees International Union? The mandatory Federal Disclosure Laws on Contributions reports that 95% of SEIU contributions are sent to the Democrat Party Candidates and causes. This kind of back-door politicking is really egregious because it has to be just the tip of iceberg of "sweetheart Union deals" that's been found so far. How many more are there?
You qualify as a Michigan state employee for the purposes of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) if you're a parent who accepts Medicaid payments from the State of Michigan to help support your mentally-disabled adult children. They can now claim and receive a portion of your Medicaid in the form of union dues.
“We're not even home health care workers. We're just parents taking care of our kids who have cerebral palsy. They are basically like 6-month-olds in adult bodies. They need to be fed and wear diapers,” Robert Haynes, a retired Detroit police officer.
Despite having no interest in joining the union. the parents have been arbitrarily classified as state employees so that the union can take money from them. For the SEIU, this makes them public employees and thus members of the union, which receives $30 out of the family's monthly Medicaid subsidy and probably they can use that $30 a month that's being sent to the union instead.
Michigan's state House has recently passed a bill to prevent "dues-seeking schemes" for "home health care workers" by public-sector unions, but it has stalled in the state Senate. Gov. Rick Snyder, R-Mich., already ended a similar scheme to provide unions with new "public employees" in the area of "home child care". His predecessor, Gov. Jennifer Granholm, D-Mich., had classified in-home daycare providers as public employees -- a designation that forced them to pay union dues but conferred no other benefits upon them. Snyder's director of the Department of Human Services ended that program.
