Michigan creates fake "union" for self-employed child care centers
I'm normally in favor of unions in their legitimate role of representing employee interests when dealing with large corporations, but this is both shameful and ridiculous.

The scam is that private child care providers now suddenly find themselves in a "union", and the state is withholding "union dues" from subsidized payments for low-income parents. The "dues" are then funnelled to a subsidiary arm of the UAW.
