State's Largest Voice on In-Home Care Reacts to Governor's Revised Budget Proposal

This is interesting to me since homecare and nursing home members in Zombie UHW will be eventually forced into this ghetto local of SEIU. I wonder what the Zombie are doing to prevent this wholesale attack on homecare workers. Given their implicit approval of fingerprinting of providers (homecare workers) I'm putting my Monopoly money on no action from Zombie UHW whatsoever.

LOS ANGELES, May 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- SEIU ULTCW, the United Long Term Care Workers, will host a brief tele-press conference later today, reacting to Governor Schwarzeneggar's Revised Budget Proposal related to the funding of In-Home Care for some 400,000 low-income elderly and disabled Californians. Laphonza Butler, President of the 179,000 member union will be giving reaction and taking questions.
In his prior budget, submitted in January, the Governor proposed a nearly 87% elimination of this vital, cost-saving, lifeline-level program.

  1. You're right Keyser. Laphonza Butler's corrupt and baught organization will do nothing to protect homecare workers.

    I feel sorry for California's dedicated homecare workers. They deserve much better than this.

  2. For years and years those poor workers down south watched their wages fall farther and farther behind the Bay Area counties while their leaders lived the good life. Money was left sitting in the state budget and never bargained over. They got sold out over and over and over. we did alright when Sal was our leader and I hope we don't get shafted by Laphonie.
