Federal Lawsuit Challenges Michigan Scheme to Impose Union on Child-Care Providers
LANSING, MI In what can only be described as a blatant scheme of union boss political payback, Michigan Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm is colluding with union bosses to force all of the states more than 40,000 home-based child-care providers into compulsory unionism.
In a late 2006 act of connivance, Michigan Department of Human Services (DHS) officials under the direction of Granholm, who was in a contested reelection bid at the time created the Michigan Home Based Child Care Council to act as the so-called management of the home-care providers.
Then, a union front group called Child Care Providers Together Michigan (CCPTM) a joint operation run by United Autoworkers (UAW) and American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union officials made a concerted effort to foist their union representation on the home-care providers.
Even though only 15 percent of the 40,000 day-care providers voted in the union certification election, the CCPTM union hierarchy was granted monopoly bargaining privileges and political representation over all of Michigans home-care providers. The union certification took place after an unusual mail-in vote.
