Washington Supremes Put Error-Filled Initiative Back On Ballot

Fri, Sep 12 2008

An initiative to boost training for long-term health care workers has been put back on the ballot by the Washington State Supreme Court.

The initiative is sponsored by the nation’s largest union, the Service Employees International Union, as part of a strategy of organizing such health care aides. The idea is that by requiring training and imposing other regulation of such aides, the union can leverage government influence to convince such aides to join the union.
