Michigan child-care workers suing to break free of UAW union

Michigan child-care workers suing to break free of UAW union
"In 2006, the UAW and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) were formally approved as partners in a union called Child Care Providers Together Michigan.

Only 15 percent of the providers voted, but 92 percent were in favor."

That's the key deal.
The unions got an arrangement with the US government that only the voters on a given vote mattered in gaining a majority.
So if they kept the vote secret or make it hard to vote, they win.
Nice?
Vote democrat and you'll get more of this crap!

Driving for CATA a lucrative job for some

"Driving a public transit bus can be a six-figure gig in Lansing - if you're willing to work overtime.

A driver from the Capital Area Transportation Authority made $140,900 in 2009.
He put in nearly 2,200 hours of overtime, which averages about 42 extra hours a week.

He was one of 25 drivers who earned more than $80,000 last year.
The top hourly pay, before overtime, for bus drivers last year was $22.11, which equates to about $46,000 a year for a full-time driver."

Not including overtime and benefits!
Ralph Kramden would freak out!
