My daughter's health insurance was canceled while she was in the PICU awaiting yet another surgery. Our local's plan doesn't cover family members (yet!) so we are currently struggling to cover her bills. How dare Andy Stern take my dues and use them to work directly against me and my family!!! We pay very high dues in SEIU compared to other unions and yet have no real voice in how they are used. It's as if my own union has morphed into another corporate entity that I and other members must fight in the battle for a just, sane system of medical care in our country.
