SEIU Healthcare, the healthcare arm of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), is the largest healthcare union in North America with more than 1.1 million members.
We are doctors and nurses, home care and nursing home workers; we are lab techs, environmental service workers and dietary aides. We are front-line healthcare workers who care for more than 60 million patients across 29 states and two countries. We are caregivers in hospitals, health centers, nursing homes, in-home care and in our communities.
Launched in 2007 with a vision of uniting healthcare workers throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico and delivering the highest quality care to all, we are living this vision today. SEIU supports Obama, Obama gets Guvmint controls of Healthcare, Obamacare forces individual Doctors and small organizations to quit or join larger organizations, SEIU organizes Healthcare workers in large Healthcare organizations. All this in the name of affordability. Good Luck!
"We're going to have a very hard time after this year recruiting good federal employees because, again, federal employees are taking a hit on those pension plans."
The Village Idiot elected by her Peers!
The budget plan is to ask for a 1.3% increase in pension contributions from newly hired federal employees. As to Congresswoman Moore's assertion regarding the difficulty of hiring more federal employees, the current average salary for a federal government employee is $78,467 - more than 50% more than the median household income in America today. So the idea that the federal government will be hard-pressed to recruit good candidates, when its pension plan and average compensation still wildly outpace the private sector, strains credulity.
I think you could reduce the clerical staff of the Federal government -- not the inspectors, not the agents, not the line workers, the clericals -- by 20% and not notice one single difference in day to day operations.

The Congresscritters statement was surely backed by SEIU who make you the 'servant' in public servant. 'You exist to serve this ship the state. Row well Pay our taxes and live.'

Maybe we should just recruit fewer federal workers.

More like the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) and American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE.) The former is associated with the AFL-CIO. The latter is independent, but more powerful.
[Weekly Standard] Congressman Tom Rice of South Carolina, a Republican, is sponsoring a resolution in the House of Representatives that would, if adopted, direct the legislative body "to bring a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief to challenge certain policies and actions taken by the executive branch." In other words, Rep. Rice wants to take President Obama to court for not faithfully executing the laws. Long overdue.

He has arguably violated much of the establishing articles for the office of Presidnet. Bush too with those"signing statements" (notably Obama has adopted the use of those too). Time to bring the Office of President back into line.

Any bets on how long before there are.
(i) Complaints of sexual harassment against the representative.
(ii) IRS discovers he's been cheating on his taxes.
(iii) FBI ties him to a series of unsolved murders.
(iv) Discovery that he had a Jewish grandmother.
[Breitbart] Capitol Hill staff members who signed up through the Washington healthcare exchange are being told to confirm their enrollments in person, the Hill reported. Staff members were told not to rely on data from the troubled healthcare exchange, called DC Health Link or DCHL, the report said. The Hill said it obtained an email sent to staffers Wednesday telling them "it is essential that you confirm your coverage in DCHL through the Disbursing Office," adding, "Do not rely on your 'My Account' page or other correspondence from DCHL." And the little people, when will they be warned ?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
