A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
If $3.5 trillion BBB passes, or some version of it, and tons of fed funds are made available for home healthcare to states does this mean seiu is somehow going to be able to unionize somebody like the lady in the story getting reimbursed from state to take care of their disabled kids or elderly folks? And if/then who would these unionize individuals be employees of, the state?
Curious if they do unionize them and if they would let her opt out of the union. My guess is they’ll make it mandatory to be in the union forcing another lawsuit.
I thought they couldn’t under Harris vs Quinn
