Matt Patterson, Executive Director of the Center for Worker Freedom, had an article published in The American Spectator on September 1, 2016, about the funding of Democrat politicians by unions and how Minnesota could be a competitive state without the unions:

No wonder for the Democrats, labor is a premier issue. For conservatives, not so much, with a few notable exceptions (Scott Walker, Chris Christie, etc.). Democratic politicians and activists helped unionize the homecare workers en masse; where is the en masse conservative support for the effort to decertify the SEIU?

That support is needed. Many of these homecare workers are disgusted by the corrupt bargain and have no use for a union in their homes or pocketbooks. Led by Kris Greene, a Lakeville-area homecare worker who cares for her disabled daughter, they have begun the legal process of decertification, the only way to legally rid them of the SEIU. Mrs. Greene and her cohorts have begun the daunting task of collecting the 9,000 authorization cards needed to trigger a decertification election.

It is, morally speaking, as pure a crusade as you will find, and Mrs. Greene certainly has the support of a small number of dedicated activists on the ground in Minnesota. But is the state GOP offering volunteers to help canvass on behalf of Ms. Greene? Are the college chapters of the Republican party? Are wise and far-sighted supporters on the national scene flocking to Minnesota?

  To ask these questions is to answer them.

To help Mrs. Greene and her supporters would not only be the right thing to do, it would also deal a tremendous financial blow to the bank of the Democratic party, and help make the state more competitive (politically speaking). To break that Blue Wall, these are the kind of fights that must become a priority for Republicans, nationwide and locally. It’s a no-brainer, really.
