2010 House Bill 5771 (Ban "stealth" unionization of employees paid with government assistance money)
Introduced by Rep. Justin Amash (R) on Jan. 27, 2010, to establish that a person whose private employment compensation comes from a direct or indirect government subsidy is not considered a government employee, and so is not subject to being inducted into a government employee union, as happened to the home day care providers who are the subject of a Mackinac Center lawsuit, or the Medicaid-recipient home personal care services providers subject to a similar scheme for which Senate Bill 731 would give statutory authorization.
