Congratulations to Pam Harris for standing up for what's right against the SEIU and Illinois unions.

Kudos to her for standing up. My only regret is that the ruling appears not to extend to all public employees.

I no more than finish one SCOTUS ping before I start another one. This is crazy insane today. :)

Her trials may be just starting. Unions can be very vindictive and those “inspections” will probably be done by card carrying members. All it takes is one nit-picker to make life miserable.

Wow. I’m totally in favor of the government not butting in and dictating medical care to families. It does seem to be another situation where the SC has finally said “enough already” with government over-reach.

Thanks, my friend. :-)

I wasn’t going to ping you to this because I suspected you’ve been busy.

Amazing woman, to deal with what she already had on her plate and take on the SEIU thugs.

SO glad to see this!

As someone who may need to leave her job to care for her aging/ailing Dad, this SLAP DOWN of government intrusion into how I manage MY RESPONSIBILITIES makes me VERY happy!

35 SCOTUS pings in one day on two decisions. It was a big day.

Sickest of all is that SEIU demanded she be a "member", not to help in the care of this young man one iota, but so they could get their lousy $90 cut of his aid.

Friggin' pigs.

This was exactly what was happening in Michigan till we shut it down a couple of years ago. The only difference is that this one went to the supreme court. The union says its an attack on worker rights but it was their own forced members who sued them.

It was a naked money grab. These people are basically self employed and the union couldn’t represent them if they wanted to. The union was just in it for the cash.

Absolutely.

This is the first time I’ve seen what she actually receives from Medicaid/Medicare for her sons care per month. $1,300 is not much for the constant care her son needs but the union wanted their cut.

Glad that a “red” union took one in the balls. Let’s keep hitting them in the courts and in the media.

One day the American people will learn who the SEIU really is, and where it came from (two Communist Party USA created/dominated unions, District 65 and Local 1199, etc).

Interesting. If I were living in Illinois and was taking care of my rehabilitating wife, as I am now, I would have had to join a union. Right! Great decision by the USSC!

From what I know of his condition, it’s a pittance. Welfare leeches get more than that.
