SEIU Busted Stealing Money From Home Health Care Workers, At Least $6 Million a Year…

Via Mackinac Center:

WJBK-TV2 in Detroit Tuesday night covered the story of thousands of home health care workers who are being illegally forced to pay union dues, including one couple who cares for their disabled adult children. Michigan Capitol Confidential broke the story, which has received national attention, Nov. 9.

Patrick Wright, director of the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation, explained during the newscast that a shell corporation was set up during the Granholm administration for the SEIU to organize against, and the “dues” are taken out of subsidy checks home health care aides, including family members, receive to care for the disabled. The money, about $6 million a year, is then funneled to the union.

Wright oversaw the legal battle that brought an end to a similar schemeinvolving home-based day care operators earlier this year.

    The story is incomplete.

    Once the money is stolen from the workers and funneled to the SEIU, it is then funneled to the Democrats and the Obama campaign.

    Just a follow-up to what our former, useless POS governor, the dishonorable Jennifer Granholm’s did with forced unionization of Daycare Operators.

    Money funneled to the UAW so some of it could be given back to Jennie in the form of campaign contributions.

    Democrats are evil and will steal with impunity if allowed to.

    I agree but don’t expect THIS Attorney General to even lift an eyebrow. It will have to wait until our nation is under new management. 2012!

    Heh!

    Why am I not surprised? It’s time to end ALL the corruption…..you steal, you cheat, you swindle……off to jail you go. Hard time, no counrty club jails.

    This applies to union goons, businessmen (and women), politicians,….to everyone.

    Example: Rangel committed tax fraud…..once found guilty,5 year hard time, never again is he allowed in politics, pay back all stolen funds (if necessary – sell his house, his holdings, his property….tough nuts)

    Jennifer Granholm was the worst governor Michigan has ever had. We are trying to undo the damage she did, but it will take a long while. She was a female Obama.

    SEIU extracts from these small paychecks, and scares the employees that if they say anything they will lose their stipends, which aren’t much usually, maybe $1,000 per month to take care of a seriously disabled person or relative FULL TIME. SEIU then turns money stolen from poor people beset with a huge responsibility to care for someone, and depend on that income, and then SEIU wastes it on pro-Obama mailings for rallies, sending union cards, t-shirts, etc.

    There’s a built in intimidation because they depend on this income totally, that seems to be where SEIU focuses its scare tactics, on the lowest-income of the public employee brackets.

    Full Time meaning 24/7

    SEIU takes out the money AUTOMATICALLY they don’t ask or anything, and this itself implies that it’s a duty to pay SEIU (who are known thugs).

    Typical union assholes; think that if it is labor, they are entitled. People need to tell them to fuck off; speaking through their spokesmen, Smith & Wesson.
