Forced into a union

This is the article Rush mentioned about Michigan home day care providers being forced into a union. How was this done? Apparently the day care workers had received some sort of federal subsidy (NOTHING is ever free when it comes from the government), which put them into the running for joining a union. Then only 6,000 people of 40,000 voted by mail to join the union and wham-o. AFSCME starts getting dues. 

Michelle Berry runs a day-care business out of her home in Flint, MI. She thought that she owned her own business, but Berry's been told she is now a government employee and union member. It's not voluntary. Suddenly, Berry and 40,000 other Michigan private day-care providers have learned that union dues are being taken out of the child-care subsidies the state sends them. The "union" is a creation of AFSCME, the government workers union, and the United Auto Workers.
