The 100,000-member Service Employees International Union (SEIU)-United Healthcare Workers West labor union, which spent $20.3 million to get the measure on the ballot, said in a statement that it would reorganize and try to get the ballot initiative reintroduced, as well as get it on the ballot in other states.

Perhaps we need a measure on the ballot to limit Union profits...

[PAR35]

Now, who could spot any possible consequences of that?

[Fhios]

It probably failed because it had connections to the SEIU. Big time unions pushing political agendas aren’t popular. I say we have Students with unpaid student loans ... make a good Job for people not paying their student loans off. Or perhaps rotating the unemployed. lotta room to work with there

They are trying to kill off the sick people so that their insurance doesn’t need to cover it.

This makes no sense.

Limiting the profits of a health clinic leads to limiting the wages of healthcare workers. Healthcare workers whose wages are limited are less able to afford union “representation.” Some of them could even decide they do not want the union.

How does this benefit the union? Or was the purpose of this simply to harm a business, a goal which unions seem to care about above all else?

Anyway, I voted against this. There is no way the state should dictate how much profit a particular business can earn.

My first wife spent the last five years of her life on dialysis. I'm grateful I had that additional time with her. The fact that someone made a profit on her care doesn't upset me in the least.

That is only the California member count. They are nationwide.

Can anyone explain why they are even interested in this kind of a law???
