At The Examiner: The SEIU is trying to amend the Michigan state constitution
to protect a gift from former Gov. Jennifer Granholm, D-Mich., who
helped the SEIU unionize in-home health care workers by deciding that
the recipients of Medicaid funding count as public employees.
The public employee tag even applies to parents who accept Medicaid funding in order to help support their kids.
“We’re not even home health care workers. We’re just parents taking
care of our kids,” as Robert Haynes, a retired police officer, put it to
the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. Haynes and his wife lose money
every month to the SEIU, which managed to incorporate them into a union
without their realizing it, because Granholm decided to treat Medicaid
recipients as public employees. Accordingly, the state government
deducts money from their Medicaid check every month and sends it to the
SEIU.
