One of the hotly contested issues in the forced unionization scheme cooked up by the SEIU, AFSCME and Gov. Dayton has been the issue of who gets to vote. This week, child care providers filed a lawsuit to prevent the vote entirely. Tonight, AFSCME's website gives us the answer:
About 2,300 of the providers are organizing with Council 5’s Child Care Providers Together. That includes providers in Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis Counties, and most other counties in the northern two-thirds of the state. SEIU is organizing providers in other parts of the state.
Gov. Dayton's executive order limits the voting to the 4,287 in-home child care providers who care for children whose parents get government assistance. If voting is limited to those 4,287 providers, that means the SEIU and AFSCME only needs 2,144 votes to force child care providers to pay union dues or Fair Share fees.
If AFSCME's website is telling the truth, that means Gov. Dayton's executive order guarantees victory for AFSCME and the SEIU.
If that isn't rigging an election, then it's impossible to rig elections.
That's the definition of corruption. SEIU, AFSCME and Gov. Dayton are corrupt because they're driven by an unquenchable thirst for political power. Make no mistake about this: this unionization scheme is all about acquiring as much political power as possible
Many of these child care providers are members of the Minnesota Licensed Family Child Care Association, aka the MLFCCA. MLFCCA yearly dues cost as little as $65. Since we don't know what the SEIU and AFSCME would charge for union dues, let's use the dues being charged by AFSCME in Ohio. They charge $25 a month in union dues.
That's $300 a year for full union dues. If Minnesota's Fair Share laws were obeyed, in-home child care providers would be charged $240 a year in Fair Share fees. That's $175 more than they're currently paying to the MLFCCA.
That's what corruption looks like.
