"The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), one of the nation’s largest unions, has been filling its coffers with Medicaid dollars for years.
With the help of Democrat politicians, SEIU has been raking in tens of millions of dollars each year by skimming dues off the top of Medicaid checks sent to personal care assistants, who care for Medicaid recipients in their homes.
...Typically, unions are paid to negotiate and enforce contracts between employees and management. But with personal care assistants, having a union makes little sense.Personal care assistants are “employed” by the person they care for – often their own child, or another relative, or a friend.
Personal care assistants do not work for the state or the federal government.
And it’s not like SEIU sits down with each Medicaid patient and bargains with them over smoking breaks, time off, and benefits on behalf of each personal care assistant.
...With SEIU doing so little for these caregivers, why should they have to pay hundreds of dollars a year in dues to the union?
...Setting politics aside, SEIU has a long record of sleazy and scandalous behavior.
For example, SEIU has a policy of refusing to recognize dues opt-out forms outside of arbitrary windows of time that allows it to continue collecting dues even after a member resigns, as an Oregon woman learned.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg..."
