Please. His argument (and Fitch's) was that organizing home care workers isn't the same as organizing workplace-based workers. The home-based workers were organized through political deals - SEIU writes a gubernatorial campaign a big check and the gov says thank you by recognizing the union. SEIU has had a lot harder time organizing people in the workplace. Neither Early nor Fitch was disparaging home workers.
