Union schemes and scams: notes on the forced unionization of daycare workers and health aides.
Driving home tonight, I had some thoughts on today’s announcement of the unionization of Connecticut daycare workers and personal care attendants for the disabled and senior citizens:
- Did all 6,200 care workers actually receive ballots? Were they alerted about the importance and arrival of the ballots ahead of time?
- Did they all know that it only took a majority of the RETURNED ballots to trigger a union?
- Who counted the ballots?
- Did they know that the legislature refused to vote on this due to the uproar raised by the recipients of this care?
- Do they know that their dues will siphon about $2.5 million away from their incomes, directly deducted from their Care 4 Kids state reimbursements? Directly from the mouths of children directly into the coffers of SEIU 2001, which effectively means laundered and delivered for Malloy’s next election?
Consider how easy it would be to fill out ballots “for” people that were supposed to receive them in the mail. Consider how easy it would be to make the mailings look like junk mail so they would be missed. Consider how easy it would be to mobilize a mere 1,600+ people to vote for the union (they recently pulled their stealth scheme in Wisconsin and Michigan, and they are perfecting their deviousness with the aid of complicit politicians. Is it any wonder that they hate Scott Walker so much!). Consider that this is the most unAmerican, unpatriotic thing I have seen the Democrats do in a while. To wit: how different is state sponsored and required membership in a union from state sponsored and required membership in a particular religion? Think about it. State sponsored and enforced participation in what should be elective activity is unconstitutional, immoral and unfair.
One has to wonder if Malloy would be equally quick to issue an executive order to make Connecticut a “right to work” state? I think not, given his incestuous relationship with the unions. When the unions control, and in this case, own, their alleged employer, or that employer is essentially hired by the employees, what happens to the adversarial relationship that unions and employers are expected to have? It merely demonstrates why public employee unions should be, at minimum, highly restricted in their economic or political relationship with the administration.
This is merely a sneaky implementation of “card check”, which is a sleazy, smarmy, unAmerican way to coerce workers to join unions who may not want to otherwise. Right to work, secret ballots and free choice are the antithesis of the modern union. It makes you wonder why the so called “Democratic” Party would embrace organizations based on such thuglike, undemocratic tactics. The bottom line: would unions have to hatch all of these deceptive schemes if people were clamoring to be in a union?
These indentured union workers should take a page from the unions and go on strike. From SEIU and their lickspittle lapdog, Dannel (formerly known as Dan) P. Malloy.

Merry Christmas
I had to sugarcoat it: it’s a family show!? 😉
“?lickspittle lapdog”……OUCH
And you don’t even live in Ct.?
Anyway….This kinda crap really chaps my Bum.????
?
Once the union/employer relationship was adversarial but symbiotic.? It has become a parasitic/host relationship.? Parasites ultimately render their hosts feeble or dead.? The outlook is not brilliant for Connecticut.
didn’t hoffa tell o that the unions are his army?? looks like conscription is well in hand. . .
Who used to say,the last one out of Corrupticut,please turn out the lights?
Do they know that their dues will siphon about $2.5 million away from their incomes, directly deducted?from their? Care 4 Kids state reimbursements?? Directly from the mouths of children directly into the coffers of SEIU 2001, which effectively means laundered and delivered for Malloy?s next election?

“Nuff said.? This is so immoral.?
UN-American = Democrat Party. (There is nothing democratic about it!)
These union thugs and their leadership remind me of the Nazi Brown Shirts in 1930s Germany beating (or worse) anyone who dared to disagree with them.
My sis-in-law just started a daycare business, I wonder if she was herded into becoming a union member?
The tactics are the same, just the shirt color is different.? I was in that union, and I still can’t seem to shower off the dirty feeling!
?
SEIU: the purple people beaters!
Think I’ll give my sister (day care provider) a call today to find out if she got this super duper ballot in the mail and whether or not she voted to be unionized.
Is this going to end up playing out like section 8 housing?? Can children be turned away from your daycare (for many reasons, the least of which are behavioral problems) if, in essence, you’re now controlled by The State/Union–which are now synonymous entities apparently?? I’m somewhat confused as to the details of this debacle.? Dims, shine some light for me?
The story is still developing, but there are always strings attached to government money, forced unionization being the most obvious for the moment.?
?
And it doesn’t stop there:? a story from Michigan shows that the unions are taking excuse me, stealing money, without permission, from medicaid checks meant for disabled children (http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/news/local/forced-to-join-a-union%3A-seiu-taking-money-from-michigan-medicaid-checks? and? http://www.workforcefreedom.com/blog/taking-money-sick-kids-michigan%E2%80%99s-forced-unionization-scandal).?

Another putrid SEIU scheme.
First link did not work, but the 2nd was enough to make my ill.? This is nothing but government sanctioned union theft.? Dems & the SEIU are in bed with each other.? It’s that simple.? Who’s watching out for the voters anymore?? Is there anyone?
whoops “make *ME* ill”…
Yes, first link didn’t work for me either, but unfortunately the second did. As much as I love Christmas, even the magic of this time of year does not remove the chill of living in “Back to the Future”.
Great post Dims.? We’ll see if the plaintiff’s laywers don’t ask the Court a similar set of questions.
I said it elsewhere and I’ll say it again, the most effective recruiting tools conservatives have at their disposal are liberal policies… and well, tactics.
Where’s crystal?? 😉
Busy stealing the Christmas from the Whos…..
Awe , you miss me, how cute!
(Seriously, there are so many inaccuracies in this, I cannot begin to comment.)
It never prevented you from putting out your own parade of inaccuracies!?
?
Come on!? Give us few!? Just the really big ones!? You know you want to! 😉
Just one “inaccuracy”??? Please?
