Obama rewards union thuggery

There is no length to which Obama will not go to protect absurdly high union wages....

Reporting from Sacramento (LA Times) -- The Obama administration is threatening to rescind billions of dollars in federal stimulus money if Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and state lawmakers do not restore wage cuts to unionized home healthcare workers approved in February as part of the budget.

The workers, who collectively contribute millions of dollars in dues each month to the influential Service Employees International Union and the United Domestic Workers, will see the state's contribution to their wages cut from a maximum of $12.10 per hour to a maximum of $10.10.

The SEIU said in a statement that it had asked the Obama administration for the ruling.

Using money they've extorted from California taxpayers in the form of wages that are higher than what the labor market would otherwise bear, union thugs donated millions to help The One get elected. Now it's payback time. How the media can look the other way as Obama blatantly and proudly uses the power of the federal government to favor big campaign donors is appalling.

If Obama handed over the car companies to the union thugs in Detroit, what's next, will the SEI Union in California now be handed the medical industry because they contributed to his campaign? That seems to be the formula.
