In his weekly column, AWB President Don Brunell writes about a difficult choice facing Washington parents who care for their disabled children: Turn over the care of their children to someone else, or join the union.
The complicated set of circumstances leading up to this scenario can be traced back to a 2001 union-backed intiative that created a state home healthcare authority.
State lawmakers tried and failed in the last legislative session to find a fix. They could take up the issue again, but not until the Legislature convenes in January.
Meanwhile, the only winner is the union that stands to gain new members, income and clout.
