\u201cNo American should be forced to support a labor union in order to work for a living. But that is a freedom that officials of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are attempting to take away, in order to rake in millions of dollars in forced union dues.<\/p>\n
\u201cA vast majority of Los Angeles County\u2019s 80,000 home care providers did not vote for and did not want a union to interfere with their employment. Many never knew the union even existed, until they were chagrined to discover their wages being seized by the county and handed over to SEIU Local 434b. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s when the National Right to Work Foundation began receiving calls from the distraught home care providers who requested free legal assistance to protect their First Amendment Rights.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the help of Foundation attorneys, these home care workers are fighting back \u2013 despite the personal risks involved in opposing a notoriously militant union. It turns out that this new forced unionism scheme, which \u201cmagically\u201d turns independent contractors into public employees for collective bargaining purposes only, may well be unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis appears to be nothing more that a union fundraising scheme to rip off those who care for the elderly and disabled, to say nothing of the millions of taxpayer dollars at stake in Los Angeles County alone; and then there is the rest of California, as well as Washington and Oregon. It\u2019s no wonder that the union bosses are reacting with such hysteria to the class action lawsuit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
