We will keep working hard until the final and make sure we win the Champions League. They have won the league again but we know that we’re good enough to beat them. “They’re a very good side, we all know that, but we have to focus on the day. I think we’re going to win it.” A victory for United against Chelsea in the Champions League final next week would further cement the idiocy of Mikel’s decision making. To think he battled so hard and for so long, missing a year of his playing career, to get a move away from the current back-to-back league champions, instead playing for the runners-up. Revenge is sweet… "Mikel Has Got To Regret It" was originally published at The Republik of Mancunia. This article is also featured on Republik Of Mancunia.

Arbitrator Calls Fresno Board of Supervisors' Planned Cuts to Homecare Workers'Perverse'; Orders Cuts ReducedFRESNO, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Ten thousand homecareworkers won a partial victory today as an independent Arbitrator called theBoard's financial reasoning behind proposed wage cuts "perverse" and orderedthe board to lessen the severity of the cuts from an immediate $1.10 an hourover six months to a smaller cut over a period not shorter than 12 months. TheBoard of Supervisors passed a new proposal last week to cut healthcare for theworkers in addition to their wages.The arbitrator went further and admitted that "...the IHSS funding presents afluid situation and with the economic picture still unclear, it is difficultto precisely determine just what shortages will actually exist and how best torestore them.""We can not, and will not, sit by and watch while the jobs of 10,000 homecareworkers are put at risk," said Dave Regan Trustee of SEIU UHW "The mathbehind these proposals does not compute. Fresno County is risking $15 millionin increased revenue to save $1.3 million immediately. The Federal Stimulusmoney is on its way to California to avoid exactly this kind of situation."The cuts were originally set to go into effect in January 2009, but weredelayed when the Trustees for SEIU UHW appealed to the arbitrator.

The cuts,if not repealed, could go into effect as early as July 1, 2009.In an ironic and unproductive twist, the Fresno Country Department ofPersonnel has accepted a petition by a new organization, led by people whowere removed from office at SEIU UHW for misusing members' dues money and whofailed to prevent the cuts from being proposed in the first place lastSeptember.Background:--Fresno County is poised to reap a nearly $3 million refund for pastIHSScontributions, to be followed by an additional $12 million over thenexttwo years.--Board's decision to slash workers' wages will actually end upcosting $15 million dollars. County cuts to homecare workers' wagewill result in reducing the amount of money homecare workers areeligible to receive from the federal government and the State.--Due to the multiplying effect of that lost income, the City will lose$2.2 million in tax revenue and Fresno area business will lose awhopping $12.6 million in sales revenue.On NUHW:--The leaders of this organization did not take action to stop the cutsthat the Board of Supervisors voted on in September.--The contract that now covers homecare workers would be null and void.SOURCESEIU UHWRenee Asher of SEIU UHW, +1-301-237-7427.
