Pam Harris and I disagree, but I am compelled to publish her very thoughtful rebuttal to my previous post on this subject. Published with due respect, Prof. LeRoy. From Pam Harris, lead plaintiff in Harris v. Quinn (recent Supreme Court case): "I respectfully disagree. I think Governor Rauner has great respect for
teachers and sincere concern for our childrens' education. It's the SEIU
and AFSCME and their previously negotiated contracts that has likely
motivated our Governor to submit the amicus brief on behalf of the
Plaintiffs in Friedrichs.
Home daycare providers are independent small businesses and home care
workers work for the individual who is disabled or elderly in their own
home. Neither work for the state and many believe the union is an
unnecessary intrusion.
Taking public dollars intended to provide care for children of
low-income families, the disabled and elderly, and giving it to the
unions, is reprehensible.
It is time for SCOTUS to take a good hard look at Abood and how far
public sector unions have gone astray. Unions insistence for exclusive
representation, fair share and labor peace simply does not apply to home
daycare or home care providers."
