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.  
What: Tele Press Conference on CA In-Home Care Budget




When: Today, Friday May 14 at 3:00 PM, PST

In case there is any doubt about Zombie UHW's plans for long term care workers?

In case you are wondering if the Zombies still plan to move long term care workers (homecare and nursing home) from crumbling UHW to the decrepit, these fine people (as seen at the 2009 UHW convention) can show you! It appears that the the UHW Zombies have distributed a few "souvenir" shirts perhaps to be used as conversation pieces among the soon-ish to be effected members.



As you may recall one of the main reasons for this disastrous trusteeship (scroll down to #4) was the decision by the SEIU to move 65,000 LTC (long term care) members out of UHW and into the scandal-plagued ULTCW --  the United Long Term Care Workers, formerly known as Local 6434, and before that Local 434B.  How scandal plagued? Well, when it comes to SEIU locals that deserve to be trusteed, ULTCW takes the cake for misuse of dues money$9 an hour for most of it's members (that's 121,813!), and all around bad leadership. And what of their former leader you ask? He tired a brief stint as a sports agent and now has moved on to his own blog, the Blueprint for Justice, which if you search for comments no one has said a thing about his "blueprint".

UPDATE: I checked the blog on Thanksgiving morning, no comments anywhere or new entries since October 10.

Zombie UHW doesn't know what it's telling people half the time. I remember talking to SEIU liar Rebecca Malberg, who was here in California from Massachusetts for the battle in Fresno, on the steps of the State capital during the budget hearings. After putting on my dumb-homecare-worker mask I asked her what UHW was going to do with homecare workers when this pesky trusteeship and battle with NUHW was over. Would we be reassigned to ULTCW? She said that was absolutely not the case, and then went on to tell me that was exactly what UHW was going to do, all in the same breath!
