SEIU Collects Union Dues From Disabled Kids’ Medicaid Checks

Give them time. Maybe they haven't thought of it yet.

"California doesn't do that. " Watch for it. Expect it. You have a pretty union oriented state government. Keep your eyes peeled and watch for it to rear it's head.

I don't think they will because when it comes to the disabled and special needs, there are a lot of safeguards for them. If anyone tries to do that in California, there will be some whistle blowing going on. California is a sue happy state, and a whistle blowing state. If something like that were to go on, it wouldn't for very long.

"nobody serious about making money and being successful works less than 40 hours" Unless the union FORCES them to work less. Since I'm in New Jersey, a forced-union state, I'm stuck working 35 hours a week. I can NOT, under any circumstances, work more than that because the union doesn't want people who go the extra mile to get ahead. The union wants to appeal to the laziest employees, not the hard workers. If the library allowed me to go a single hour over that, there would be penalties.

I was being sarcastic. Unions have absolutely no purpose, except to ruin whatever they have control over, both for the country, and the specific people they represent. In 2007, the Unions attempted a massive push against Toyota, and to a lesser extent Honda, to Unionize. They failed. But thankfully they Unionized GM and Chrysler a long time ago. Which companies crashed massively? Was it Honda and Toyota? Or GM and Chrysler? Of course the answer is obvious, and no one at Honda and Toyota, are wishing they had been employed by GM or Chrysler. But there's a bunch of people who formerly worked at GM and Chrysler, who likely are second guessing the massive benefits from being unionized. Unions served a specific purpose during a specific time in American history, which saw companies completely dominating employees, even if they didn't mean to. For example Mining towns. Little towns in the middle of nowhere, with no way in or out, except by rail car. Employees paid with company dollars, only redeemable through the company store. The company would pay for your rail ticket to the town, but of course why would they pay for a ticket so you could leave? And since you were paid in company dollars, you couldn't purchase a wagon and cart, or a rail ticket out. You were stuck. Trapped. You had no options. Unionizing was the ONLY option. That was then. This is now. No one is trapped or stuck anywhere. Alex Spanos, earning minimum wage at a bakery, no college degree, no skills. Ends up a multimillionaire from his construction company. Unions serve no purpose, except to destroy whatever industry they control. Like the steal industry. We led the world in steel production, then the unions ruined it, the companies closed, Japanese companies bought our steel mills, dismantled them, shipped them to Japan, put them back together, and sold us steel made with our own equipment, back to us from non-union steel mills. In some cases, they even bought the iron ore from *US* to make into steel, to sell to *US*. Ridiculous.... but that's what unionizing does. Unions should be nearly outlawed. They are nothing but a drain and a waste to our society.

Just some constructive criticism...do you work any less than 40 hours a week in total (including your mylots earnings hours) to provide for your family. It's nice to get 40 hours but nobody serious about making money and being successful works less than 40 hours. Unions were created to provide a voice to the worker, but now we have the internet and the media to do that. In fact people have never been more empowered to speak their mind than ever before. We're not greedy or selfish we just work hard to help others.

I have not seen one yet and I did look. It is not getting the attention it deserves, even on right leaning media venues. I would really like to see what they have to say about this though. This is, with out any doubt in my opinion, the direct result of this union lobbying state governments for laws that allow this exact thing to happen. I suspect as well it isn't the only state. I am doing some research that may or may not turn up more. Stay tuned.
