Minnesota Personal Care Assistants, led by Kris Greene, have launched a campaign to decertify the union.

Connor Wolf from the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) published an article on July 18, 2016, about this campaign, including the Center for Worker Freedom’s (CWF) support:

“We believe a lot of PCAs who are paying dues don’t realize they don’t have to,” [CWF Executive Director Matt] Patterson continued. “We don’t know what they have been told by the union. Obviously the government and state are not going to tell them all the facts. The legislature and governor are totally in the pocket of the union. So, we are going to make sure they know they don’t have to pay dues.”

Greene notes the union contract is a burden when it comes to taking care of her daughter. She notes even the supposed benefits have been problematic. The union, for instance, has made it so home health care workers cannot work for more the 40 hours a week, which is nearly impossible for those taking care of loved ones.

“The SEIU and the changes they have made have not benefited me or my family,” Greene notes. “I really feel it’s about politics and not for me or my daughter. It’s the political game and I don’t want to be a part of it to be honest. I just want to take care of my daughter in the best way that she needs, and all this other stuff is just interference.”
