No choice for healthcare workers!

The Washington State legislature enacted a bill SB6699 to force home care workers to join the Service Employees International Union or not have a job. They don’t want heath care workers to have a choice – but they know they shouldn’t say that.  Washington State should have transparent government.  Forcing workers into secret, dues/bribery-paying, arrangements is the wrong way to go.

The bill is on Inslee's desk at the time of this writing  --  send the governor an email stating your opposition. This legislation has been in the works since 2014, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Harris v. Quinn that “quasi-public” employees – like the home care workers in SEIU, many of whom take care of family members – cannot be forced to join a union or pay fees to one. They are free to leave SEIU entirely, which the union doesn’t like at all. SEIU has been working with Gov. Inslee’s office since 2014 to get around this freedom and lock workers back into the union.

All this is being done to keep a fat percentage of union dues money flowing into the hands of union bosses and crooked politicians.  Its as corrupt as things can get to be.  Unions no longer exist to advance the workers' causes, but to fatten the fats cats who run the unions and the corrupt politicians who enrich themselves off the public trust.
