Federal authorities this week bristled at a suggestion by California officials that an influential union may be pushing the Obama administration to withhold billions of federal stimulus dollars from the state if Gov. Arnold Schwarzeneggerfollows through on a plan to cut home health-care workers' wages.
As first reported in the Los Angeles Times, California officials have said that representatives of the Service Employees International Union were given unprecedented access to an April 15 conference call between federal and state officials in which the state was made to justify its plan to slash $74 million from its budget by cutting health aids' maximum salaries by $2 an hour.
State officials, speaking on background, said the cuts were essential to balancing the budget and were surprised that representatives of the SEIU -- one of the country's largest labor unions, and one of President Obama's biggest campaign contributors -- were present on the call. - ABC News Story
Obama recieved tons of money and support from the Union, now they are getting their payback. Obama's Administration is intervening on their behalf and threatening California of witholding Billions in Federal Stimulus Money.
This folks is CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!
