OK so it's not like she's working somewhere and getting a salary and was forced to join a union. She's working at home, providing care for nobody but her son, receiving Medicaid, and the governor of Illinois decided she was a state employee and healthcare worker and forced her to join a union? Insane.

And another thing. She receives $1300 from the state in Medicaid and is considered a state employee healthcare worker. $1300 a month is $15,600 a year, or $300 a week, or $7.50 an hour for a 40 hour week. Minimum wage in Illinois is $8.25. I'd sue over that as well.

Yep...She and other parents like her are saving the state a lot of dollars by taking on the care of these disabled people.

It blows me away that unions got the legislature to pass the bill and the Gov to sign it even though it is Illinois.
