If you have a disabled family member

Look Out! SEIU is coming after you! Read this Michelle Malkin expose of their infiltration of the home health care givers--no, not those people for whom it is a career--but the family members like the parents, sisters, brothers.

"As a mother of a 28 yr. old severely developmentally disabled son who lives at home, in Washington state, I know what SEIU has done here. There are 2 things that have directly affected us as caregivers for our son in the past 2 yrs. One is the deceptive initiative last Nov. that 70% of the voters passed, which increased training requirements for caregivers applying for a contract with the state beginning 2010. Parents would need to complete 12 hrs. of training which was originally only 6 hrs. ALL other caregivers, (part-time, sibling, other relative, career) would have to complete 75 hrs., which was originally only 28, in order to be contracted with the state. We fought this for several yrs. in bill form, and the persistence of the union won when they presented it to the people under the guise, “don’t you want your grandmother to have the best trained caregiver”, and not attaching a cost to the state, to the initiative. The Seattle Times was against the initiative, as was every other paper in the state, and after the initiative passed, the Times editorial read “Misguided Compassion”."
