Unbelievable story of Unions Gone Wrong in MI. Wonder how many other stories there are all over the country?
These retired parents of two 30+ year old severely disabled children, whom they care for 24/7 in their home are forced to have Union Dues deducted from their State Checks. The money goes to the SEIU, most of which then goes on to support Democrats, who fight to get this money.
“We're not even home health care workers. We're just parents taking care of our kids,” said Robert Haynes, a retired Detroit police officer. “Our daughter is 34 and our son is 30. They have cerebral palsy. They are basically like 6-month-olds in adult bodies. They need to be fed and they wear diapers. We could sure use that $30 a month that's being sent to the union.”
"Haynes said his family is receiving no benefits whatsoever from allegedly belonging to the SEIU...We take care of our kids at home,” Haynes continued. “There aren't any working condition issues. There are no raises to negotiate. There aren't any union issues involved.
"Considering the dues money we're sending them, maybe they should come over and babysit our kids so we could have one night out."
