Michigan day care business owners suddenly found themselves part of a union that they were never given the choice to join. Approximately 40,000 home-based day care providers statewide found themselves assimilated into a group called, Child Care Providers Together Michigan. This group was created in 2006 by the United Auto Workers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. It even cuts further when these union members, who are also the business owners, are being considered “state employees” due to the subsidies they get from the state. These subsidies are brought in by low income customers who cannot otherwise afford day care services.
This union funds itself with tax payer dollars, by siphoning from the same subsidy. So in effect the government is paying for the union. A little like paying for votes. The money trail goes further with roots to even the SEIU, but it all appears to be a scheme to link workers into a larger union. Thereby tapping a large network of paid voters for certain political causes. Control wages…control the votes. The government, state and federal, can then pit rich vs poor, boss vs employee. Even Obama believes that unions are the way for the middle class to succeed.
Back in March of 2009, President Obama thanked unions for pushing his economic stimulus plan. He addressed the AFL-CIO where he said,
“I do not view the labor movement as part of the problem,” he adds. “To me, and to my administration, labor unions are a big part of the solution. We need to level the playing field for workers and the unions that represent their interests – because we cannot have a strong middle class without a strong labor movement.” Boston.com
So while millions are without jobs, union bosses still work. The government’s plan is clear; by dividing the people along economic lines they will divide the people between the rich and the poor. Instead of seeing our country as a fair system under which ‘everyone’ has equal rights, they see it as the numerically superior poor tyrannizing over the rich. They view our democratic society like a company: where all shareholders have an equal say regardless of the scale of their holding; one share or ten thousand, it makes no difference
