Illinois home health workers have rejected unionization by two unions by an overwhelming majority, opting for no union reprsentation in spite of Governor Pat Quinn’s illegal pressure tactics and numerous threats and tons of expensive lobbying by the SEIU and AFSCME.
Illinois workers who are paid by the state to care for severely disabled people in their homes have voted down an effort to unionize.
More than 3,000 home health care workers mailed in their ballots this month; the ballots were counted on Monday and most of those workers voted not to join a union, according to Alan Symonette, an arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association, which counted the vote.
The workers could have voted to join the American Federation of State, county of Municipal Employees or the Service Employees International Union, but more than half of them voted to remain non-union.
The vote came after Gov. Pat Quinn signed an executive order paving the way for home health care workers – most of whom care for their own family members – to decide if they should unionize and collectively bargain with the state on how much funding they receive.
Toodle-oo thugs. Guess people are wising up to your crap, huh?
