Forced Unionization, Day Care

Forced Unionization, Day Care

Tens of thousands of small business owners in Michigan could be freed from forced unionization if Senate Bill 1173 becomes law.
Some 40,000 home-based child care operators were shanghaied into a union because they receive subsidy payments on behalf of low-income parents. The Mackinac Center Legal Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Human Services over this very issue.
According to the Novi Information Network, SB1173 would 'clarify that an individual who receives a direct or indirect government subsidy in his or her private employment is not a public employee.'"

That would be great until our Governor used her Veto power. This is big money for the the Unions and those that support them. They aren't going to give up those dollars that easily.
