I wish Bob hadn't put it that way - it is ugly. Especially since it's a gift to SEIU defenders, who can obsess about that and evade his main points - that organizing via contribs to Dem politicians is a different beast from organizing private sector employees, and the homecare workers haven't all seen much in the way of gains from their organized status. Evidently a lot of people inside SEIU agree.
